- "This group of tunnel tombs is known locally as the ""100 Holes of Nagaoka."" The cave tunnel burial mound consists of 52 holes dug into the south slope of Utsunomiya Hill situated between the Tagawa River and Kinu River. Exactly when it was made is not clear, but the tombs, also known as the ""100 Kannon"" and ""100 Holes,"" are believed to have been built during the first half of the seventh century, a time when such tunnel tomb groups were created across the country. It is believed this was a mass cemetery with familial grave characteristics for those of low social status."
