Barrow Cemetery in Honshū
A push-button (hemisphere on a rectangular basement) shaped tumulus in the property of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (国立天文台 Kokuritsu Tenmondai). The tumulus was once covered with tall trees and is still covered with weeds, so the shape is unclear. It is situated out of the visitors tour course, but can be seen from the 20cm Telescope Dome.
