Explore the Ishihitoyama Tumulus, a key historical site speculated to be the tomb of the Iwai clan of Tsukushi. This large, keyhole-shaped burial mound features fascinating stone figures and a house-shaped stone coffin. Visitors can walk around the tumulus and view the stone figures and coffin, which are protected by coverings. The on-site museum provides additional context, though it's closed on Mondays. Located a 10-minute drive from the Hirokawa Interchange, it's best visited during the afternoon to fully appreciate the outdoor exhibits.
