We visited the burial mounds 20, 22, 24 along National Highway 495 among the many burial mounds. Since I visited during the fresh green season, it felt like there were several small mountains thick on the grassland. The burial mound No. 22 is said to be the largest front and rear burial mound in the Niiharanoyama burial mound group, but when viewed from a distance, it looked like a forest.

It is one of the constituent assets of the world heritage site "Kamijukurushima" and is a group of tombs of Mr. Munakata, a religious worshiper on Okinoshima. 41 tumuli remain in good condition here and there in the vast earth, and I was surprised by the faith that the clan continued to convey from the Kofun period to the present day along with the tumulus itself.

Without knowing that it was one of the constituent heritage sites related to Okinoshima, I found a signboard of "Shinbara / Nuyama Kofun Tumulus Group" on the way from Miyajidake Shrine to Munakata Taisha Shrine and went to see it. As it was called the tumulus group, there were 41 tumulus in total, including ５ tumulus, 35 tumulus, and one square tumulus, which were left in a fairly good condition. It is said that this is a group of tumuli built by Munakata, an ancient gozoku (local ruling family) who was responsible for the Okinoshima ritual from the 5th to 6th centuries.
