Umanoyama Kofun Group
A group of ancient tombs on Umayama Hill in Hashizu, Hawai-cho, Tohaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture. Also known as the Hashizu Tomb Group, it consists of five keyhole-shaped tombs and 17 circular tombs. It was designated a historic site in 1957. Tomb No. 4 is a west-facing keyhole-shaped tomb from the late 4th century, 110m long, 58m in diameter at the rear, and 35m wide at the front, and is surrounded by roofing stones and cylindrical haniwa clay figures. Excavations in 1956 revealed that a vertical stone chamber and a box-shaped stone coffin are side-by-side in the rear, and that the front also contains three box-shaped stone coffins, two cylindrical haniwa coffins, and one cylindrical clay coffin.
