Mount Kitayama is a massif that stretches from east to west on the north side of the Izumo Plain.

In addition to human remains, a large quantity of grave goods was discovered.

However, many burial goods that were confirmed to exist at the time of the excavation and photographed in situ were subsequently lost and their current whereabouts is unknown.

The surviving artifacts are kept at the Ageshima Kofun Hosankai, and some are on display at the Shimane Prefectural Museum of Ancient Izumo History.
