35 rock cut tombs on the both sides of a valley.
Tomb no.6, 7 and 13 have carvings representing humans, animals and a 5-storied pagoda, and tomb 5 has whale-rib ceiling like Tarekoyato-nishi Yokoana. These tombs are now closed with iron doors. A museum attached.
2 km southward from here, there are another rock cut tombs called Tōya-tōbu Yokoana (鴇谷東部横穴), tomb no.11 of which has carving, but exact position of them is unclear.
