On the edge of a mountain behind Chōyō-ji (長養寺) temple, there lie 6 kofuns : 5 round tumuli and 1 chambered cairn. The cairn on the lower point is almost destroyed by a pylon and other tumuli on the upper point are also difficult to find. The entrance of the inspectors trail to the pylon begins at 34.89469N,137.81580E.
"Tera-yama" means 'temple's mountain'.
