Iwase Senzuka Ancient Tombs

This group of ancient tombs is widely distributed across the grounds of the Wakayama Prefecture Kii-fudoki-no-oka Museum of Archaeology and Folklore located primarily in Maeyama area, Iwase mountainous region. Believed to be the tombs of the ancient and powerful Kii clan, over 850 tombs have been confirmed to exist, with potentially many more. One of the largest ancient tomb groups in the country, the stone passage tombs are distinctively outfitted with beams and shelves made of crystalline schist and have been designated a National Special Historic Site. A portion of the tombs have been made viewable to the general public.
