Barrow Cemetery in Honshū

Once there seems that numerous tumuli lay in this area. Now a hospital (Suzuka Kaisei byōin 鈴鹿回生病院) was built and only one tumulus remains in the parking area. This tumulus is regarded as a rare example of the gourd (double round) shaped tumulus along with Kanayama Kofun . It may be 2 round tumuli on a same hill.
