A keyhole-shaped burial mound that boasts one of the largest sizes in Hiroshima Prefecture

It is a 77-meter long keyhole-shaped tumulus thought to have been built in the late 4th century. The mound is made of red soil, covered with white roofing stones, and has clay figures lined up. From the fact that it is a huge keyhole-shaped tumulus and the size of the stone chamber, it can be inferred that the person buried here was a person of great authority.
