Go-Suzaku is amongst six other emperors entombed near what had been the residence of [[Hosokawa Katsumoto]] before the [[Ōnin War]].]]

The actual site of Go-Suzaku's [[grave (burial)|grave]] is unknown.<ref name="kunaicho"/>  This emperor is traditionally venerated at a [[memorial]] [[Shinto]] [[shrine]] (''misasagi'') at Kyoto.

The [[Imperial Household Agency]] designates this location as Go-Suzaku's [[mausoleum]].  It is formally named ''Enjō-ji no misasagi''.<ref>Ponsonby-Fane, p. 421.</ref>

Go-Suzaku is buried amongst the "Seven Imperial Tombs" at Ryōan-ji Temple in Kyoto.<ref>The "Seven Imperial Tombs" at Ryoan-ji are the burial places of [[Emperor Uda|Uda]], [[Emperor Kazan|Kazan]], [[Emperor Ichijō|Ichijō]], Go-Suzaku, [[Emperor Go-Reizei|Go-Reizei]], [[Emperor Go-Sanjō|Go-Sanjō]], and [[Emperor Horikawa|Horikawa]].</ref>

The specific mound which commemorates the Hosokawa Emperor Go-Suzaku is today named ''Shu-zan.''<ref name="moscher277">Moscher, G. (1978). ''Kyoto: A Contemplative Guide,'' pp. 277–278.</ref>

The emperor's burial place would have been quite humble in the period after Go-Suzaku died.<ref name="moscher277"/>

These tombs reached their present state as a result of the 19th century restoration of imperial sepulchers (''misasagi'') which were ordered by Emperor Meiji.<ref name="moscher277"/>

The final resting place of Emperor Go-Suzaku's consort, Teishi Nai-shinnō (1013–1094), is here as well.<ref name="moscher277"/>

===Kugyō===
{{nihongo|''[[Kugyō]]''|公卿}} is a collective term for the very few most powerful men attached to the court of the [[Emperor of Japan]] in pre-[[Meiji period|Meiji]] eras. Even during those years in which the court's actual influence outside the palace walls was minimal, the hierarchic organization persisted.

In general, this elite group included only three to four men at a time.  These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's career.  During Go-Suzaku's reign, this apex of the ''[[Daijō-kan]]'' included: 
* ''[[Sadaijin]]'', Fujiwara Yorimichi, 992–1074.<ref name = "b311"/>
* ''[[Udaijin]]'', Fujiwara Sanesuke, 957–1046.<ref name = "b311"/>
* ''[[Nadaijin]]'', Fujiwara Norimichi, 997–1075.<ref name="b311" />
* ''[[Dainagon]]''
