It is located in the so-called "Ozuka" at the back of the approach lined with cypress trees. Its area is approximately 2840 square meters. It is a two-tiered circular tumulus, much larger than the three surrounding tumuli, and is thought to date to the mid-Kofun period. The person buried there is said to be Emperor Keitai's father, King Hikonushihito. Azumigawa Town is also known for the many sites associated with Emperor Keitai.
