The Ebisuyama Kofun is a , which is shaped like a keyhole, having one square end and one circular end, when viewed from above. It is located in the Noda River basin in the
Tango Peninsula, and is orientated to the northwest. The tumulus has an overall length of 170 meters, and is the largest of a group of eight tumuli in this vicinity. It is estimated to have been constructed in the middle of the Kofun period, or the early 4th century. The tumulus was constructed in three tiers, and had both
fukiishi, and cylindrical and figurative
haniwa. After damage due to the
1927 North Tango earthquake, the tumulus was
excavated and three burial facilities have been found in the center of the posterior circular portion, of which one contained a boat-shaped sarcophagus with elaborate carvings.
Grave goods included
bronze mirrors and iron swords and spearheads. The sarcophagus was designated a Kyoto Prefecture Tangible Cultural Property in 2019. Currently, the site, together with the
Tsukuriyama Kofun, is open to the public as the Yosano Municipal Kofun Park. The tumulus is about 15 minutes by car from
Nodagawa Station on the
Miyazu Line of the
Kyoto Tango Railway. ;Total length: 170 meters: ;Anterior rectangular portion: 62 meters wide x 11 meters high, 3-tier ;Posterior circular portion: 100 meter diameter x 16 meters high, 3-tiers ==Gallery==
