- Miyazaki Pref. Saitoshi Miyake Saitohara 5670
- Approximately a ten-minute drive from the Saito Interchange, these burial mounds are scattered around Chigogaike Park. Over 300 burial mounds remain over a very large area 2.6 kilometers from east to west and 4.2 kilometers north to south, and preservation activities are being conducted as a special historic park from its academic value. In the park, besides the burial mounds such as the Oni no Iwaya Kofun that can be seen, there is also the Saitobaru Archaeological Museum of Miyazaki Prefecture. In addition, it is a popular flower spot with cherry blossoms and rape blossoms in the spring, and cosmos in the autumn.

- Miyazaki Nishiusuki-gun Takachiho Cho Mitai
- This burial mound is situated in front of the designer Solest Takachiho Hotel near Takachiho Shrine. The mound is said to contain the head of the oni (mythical Japanese ogre) called Kihachi, who, according to legend handed down in Takachiho, was slayed by Mikeiri-no-Mikoto. The legend says that in the time of the gods, Mikeiri-no-Mikoto, the older brother of the first emperor of Japan Emperor Jinmu, slayed Kihachi in order to save Unomehime-no-Mikoto. Kihachi, however, had the ability to come back to life after a single night had passed, and so his head, torso, arms, and legs were cut off and buried in separate places. In addition to this burial mound said to contain Kihachi's head, there are two other burial mounds in Takachiho Town said to contain his body and arms and legs, respectively.

Miyazaki Areas
An unmissable highlight of Kyushu, Miyazaki prefecture satisfies nature lovers with its dramatic gorges cut out of rugged cliffs, leading into waterfalls and beaches of green-blue water popular among surfers. Takachiho Gorge in the north of the prefecture tells a tale of centuries-old Japanese mythology in a fantastic setting, allowing visitors to explore the waters by boat before heading up to the cave at the Awano Iwato Shrine, where the sun goddess was said to have hidden, plunging the world into darkness.
