Built on high ground commanding panoramic views of the Akashi Strait, this group of kofun (tumulus) is believed to be the final resting place for chieftains of the Ama, who were active around the strait. The Sue ware unearthed here dates to the latter half of the 6th century, and a surviving legend says one is the tomb of Osashi, an Ama man mentioned in the Nihon Shoki (The Chronicles of Japan).
