An imperial mausoleum at Narutaki Utanodani, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto, managed by the Imperial Household Agency as the tomb of Emperor Uda, the 59th emperor. A paper in the Journal of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers suggests that the foot of Mount Ouchi around Utano became a burial ground for emperors and that the mountain was seen as a place where ancestral spirits rest.
