Kiusu土堆古墓 / Kiusu Earthwork Burial Circles

Kiusu土堆古墓（位於千歲市）是位在國道337號沿線上的遺跡。這裡是3000年前所被使用的集團墓地，在地面挖掘飯碗形狀的坑洞而被建成。至今仍保持當時的形狀。對一般人來說這裡就是到處都有的森林中的大型凹洞，但是在學術上是珍貴的遺跡。在1979年時這裡被登錄為國家指定的史蹟。離停車場約有100公尺的遊憩步道。

Kiusu Earthwork Burial Circles (Chitose City) form one historical site together. The Circles are on route 337, which is between New Chitose Airport and Sapporo. This site consists of eight big hollows created by excavation in the forest. They were dug at least 3000 years ago for use as public cemeteries. The bowl-shaped hollows have fortunately been preserved in their natural state until the modern age. For the layman, perhaps they are just hollows which hold minimal interest, but they are quite important to historical science. In 1979, this site was registered as an important site by the government. The biggest circle’s diameter is about 75 meters.
