The "Nagoyayama tumulus" is one of a group of tumuli called the Osu tumulus group. It was created around the 6th century and is said to have originally been a forward-rear round burial mound. Excavations were conducted in 1991 and 1995, and the excavated artifacts are housed in the Nagoya City Museum.
In 2022, the area around the burial mound and the stairs up to the burial mound were renovated and reborn as a new power spot in Osu under the name of Nakonoyama Burial Mound Park.
