The village says Keiseidan Tumulus, a keyhole-shaped mound 41 m long with a rear circle 27 m across, was shown by pottery found around it to date from the latter half of the 4th century. The Koshindan, Kanayama, Yaji, Ubusuna and Kuondan mounds lie in the same area.
02 ／ Torii gate
The great stone torii of Tamai Shrine was built on July 20, 1924. The village says the donors' names include people who went to Hawaii and also the Philippines, and that it was dedicated to mark a safe return home. The shrine itself was founded in 1879.
03 ／ Place name
The village's page on the Tama no I well says that a round crystal ball came out of a well at the edge of a rice field, and that this is how the place came to be called Tamai. A festival was held there every April until the Keio era, and calls to preserve the well grew after the war.
