Futagaoka - Narabigaoka

Japanese: 双ヶ丘 - ならびがおか

A hill in Omuro, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City. Ichinooka Hill, 116m above sea level, is located to the north, and Ninooka Hill and Sannooka Hill are located to the south, so the hill is named after it. It is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty. There are a total of 19 ancient tombs on the slopes of the three hills (Futagaoka Tomb Group), with Myoshinji Temple and Hokongoin Temple on the western foot and Ninnaji Temple on the northern foot. There used to be twin ponds on the eastern foot of Sannooka. Located in the northwestern suburbs of Heian-kyo, the area was a hunting ground for the emperor since ancient times, and aristocrats built mountain villas at the foot of the mountains (one of these, the residence of the Minister of the Right, Kiyohara Natsuno, later became Hokongoin). It is said that Yoshida Kenko, the author of Tsurezuregusa, once lived at the western foot of Ninooka, and his grave and a monument to his poem can be found in the grounds of Chosenji Temple at the eastern foot of Ichinooka. Both Futagaoka Hill and the twin ponds are utamakura.

京都市右京区の御室(おむろ)にある丘陵。標高116mの一ノ丘が北側にあり，それより低い二ノ丘，三ノ丘が南に並ぶためこの名がある。国指定名勝。三つの丘の山腹に計19基の古墳があり（双ヶ丘古墳群），西麓に妙心寺，法金剛(ほうこんごう)院，北麓に仁和(にんな)寺が建つ。またかつては三ノ丘東麓に双池があった。平安京の北西郊に位置して一帯は古くから天皇の遊猟地となり，また山麓には貴族の山荘が営まれた（その一つである右大臣清原夏野宅がのち法金剛院となる）。《徒然草》の著者吉田兼好は一時期，二ノ丘西麓に住んだと伝え，一ノ丘東麓の長泉寺境内に兼好の墓と歌碑がある。双ヶ丘，双池はともに歌枕。
