Within the precincts of Katsuragi Hitokotonushi-jinja Shrine on Mt. Yamato-Katsuragi, there exists a burial mound called "Tsuchigumo-zuka," and it is said that Emperor Jinmu captured tsuchigumo and buried separately the parts of their dead bodies (the head, the trunk and the limbs) for removing their curses (cf. the section of "Surging waves of the march" in the article of "Emperor Jinmu").
大和葛城山の葛城一言主神社には土蜘蛛塚という小さな塚があるが、これは神武天皇が土蜘蛛を捕え、彼らの怨念が復活しないように頭、胴、足と別々に埋めた跡といわれる（神武天皇怒濤の進撃も参照）。
