    The Suyama Tumulus is the largest kofun (tumulus or burial mound) in the Umami group of tumuli, which is composed of mounds of various sizes. It is thought to be the burial mound of an emperor in this area from the beginning of the 5th century. Based on excavations and surveys carried out over recent years, new findings have indicated that it is a semi-circular or rectangular mound. It is designated as a National Special Historic Site.
