Tunnel tombs were ancient graves excavated into the side of the hill or cliff in the late of the tumulus period (end of the 5th AD. to the end of the 6th AD.) in Japan. They were characterized by their density, and in many cases, they made some groups in certain areas. In addition, by focusing on the group structure and the rank of the burial goods offered in each grave, it will be able to make clear various social relationships of each man who buried in each grave.This contribution aims to clarify the mortuary principle of the tunnel tombs in Shizuoka area. This means how each man was buried while taking account of the relationships in each group who built these tombs, and between groups who built other graves, that is, mounded tombs. To achieve this object, I analyzed following 2 subjects in this paper: 1) the hierarchy system inside of each groups of the tunnel tombs and 2) the relationships between the tunnel tombs and general mounded tombs which were made nearby them, while focusing on the group structure. As a result of these analyses, I could find out the excellence of Totomi area, especially Saka river basin, from the viewpoint of the clearness of the hierarchy inside of the tunnel tombs, and the superiority of them when compared to the mounded tombs. Finally, I assumed that the background of these phenomena links the way of governing system of burial ground (contains both graves) by central policy.
