Hazamiyama Kofun is a keyhole-shaped mounded tomb constructed in the center of the Furuichi area.

The mound length is 103 m, and the height of the round rear part is 9.5 m. There is a looter’s pit at the top of the round rear part, from which a stone coffin was reportedly discovered.

The construction period dates to the first half of the 5th century.
