The Yokkaichi Cave Tomb Cluster (四日市横穴群, Yokkaichi yokoana-gun) is the collective name for two clusters of corridor-type kofun (横穴式石室, yokoana-shiki sekishitsu) tombs dug in artificial caves in tuff cliffs in the Yokkaichi neighborhood of the city of Usa, Ōita Prefecture, Japan. It was designated as a National Historic Site in 1957.[1]
