A ballast retaining structure is used for a bedded track provided with a track bed formed by laying ballast on a roadbed, performing tamping to form a bed-like structure having a predetermined cross-sectional shape such as a trapezoid, and extending the bed-like structure in an extending direction of the roadbed; a plurality of sleepers disposed on the track bed such that longitudinal directions of the sleepers are perpendicular to an extending direction of the track bed; and a pair of rails fastened to upper surfaces of the plurality of sleepers along the extending direction of the track bed, and the ballast retaining structure is provided on both sides in a transverse direction of the track bed and along the extending direction of the track bed to thereby retain the track bed from the both sides in the transverse direction thereof. The ballast retaining structure includes a first layered body constituted by a plurality of bag-like objects, each being formed in a bag shape and containing the ballast, stacked from a toe of slope to a top of slope of the track bed and disposed in the extending direction of the roadbed. The bag-like object has communication holes for communicating an inside and an outside of the bag-like object formed in at least upper and lower surfaces of the bag-like object.
