Overview

Empress Inoue's designated mausoleum at Miyamacho, Gojo. Sources record reburial in 777 and restoration as empress with mausoleum status in 800, while the mound itself remains archaeologically unresolved.

Finds & research

Burial facility and finds are unknown in the public record.

Two views on the occupant

Archaeological view
The IHA designates this as Empress Inoue's mausoleum, but public evidence checked does not establish its archaeological form, size, date, burial facility, or finds. Documentary accounts of reburial and elevation to mausoleum status are kept separate from the site's unresolved archaeology.
Imperial Household Agency view
Managed by the IHA as the Uchi Mausoleum of Empress Inoue, consort of Emperor Konin — deposed on a curse charge, she died in confinement the same day as her son and was restored as empress in 800 amid vengeful-spirit fears, a wellspring of goryo belief. Her son's tomb (id:690) lies 540m north. Worship at the oratory.

Field notes

Worship from the IHA oratory.
