Japan's first public cemetery
Located in the chic neighborhood of Aoyama is the sprawling Aoyama Cemetery. Opened in 1874, it is home to the graves of many of Tokyo's most historically and culturally important people, and a cemetery for foreigners was established here in 1877.
People come to the cemetery to lay the ashes of loved ones to rest, but it is open to the public, and is a pleasant place to walk around. Full of cherry trees, the park is also a popular spot for viewing cherry blossoms in spring.
