Rock Cut Tombs in Honshū
26 burial caves on a small hill. Caves nos.6,10&15 have red mural paintings. Now all the caves have been blockaded to avoid the occupation by the animals.
An attached vault contains the replica of the painted chamber of cave no.15 and the artifacts dug out from this and the neighboring sites, a nearby Konnaiyama Yokoana (混内山横穴) also had mural paintings but now demolished without traces.
