A small museum is on site with nice graphics, but unfortunately everything is in Japanese only.
Near the top of the hill is a protective hut around one of the 5 chambers detected with a replica of one of the skeletons found in 1992, The original skeleton is on display in Matsuyama City Archaeological Museum.
