Fushimi Momoyama no Misasagi, Imperial mausoleum in Fushimi-ku, Japan.
Fushimi Momoyama no Misasagi is an imperial tomb in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, built as a round-topped mound rising above a square foundation. The site sits on a wooded hillside and is accessed through a torii gate and a long stone pathway.
Emperor Meiji died in Tokyo in 1912 and was laid to rest in Kyoto, the city of his birth, marking a departure from previous imperial burials in the new capital. The tomb was constructed following traditional models but using modern building methods with reinforced concrete inside.
The burial structure incorporates traditional Japanese architectural elements, following the design principles of ancient imperial tombs with a concrete-reinforced wooden chamber.
The site can be reached from several nearby railway stations, including JR Momoyama on the Nara Line and Keihan Momoyama-Minamiguchi on the Uji Line. The climb up to the tomb requires some stamina, as the gradient is noticeable and the path runs through dense forest.
The mausoleum contains 230 steps, a number specifically chosen to commemorate the date of the Imperial Rescript on Education presentation in 1890.
