This is a keyhole-shaped tumulus 130m long behind Kokubu Jinja (国分神社) shrine. On the top of the round part, flat stones are piled like a cairn and a stone coffin is placed between a pair of inclined flat rocks with holes. A hypothesis considers they are a symbol of a funeral ship of the buried person.
To climb the tumulus, registration at the shrine office required.
