A keyhole-shaped tumulus, 128m long. Although the round part of the mound has been destroyed and modified into a modern graveyard, the rest of the tumulus was reconstructed in 2014 as a historic park with replica haniwa terracotta cylinders. These were once believeded to be originally buried with the dead as funerary objects during the Kofun period, (3rd to 6th centuries CE) but nowadays supposed to be placed on to decorate or divide the surface and surrounding area.
