Yanaka Cemetery

The Yanaka Cemetery, or Yanaka Bochi as it was called in those days, was established in 1872, after the Meiji Restoration period. The land for the cemetery was taken from the Tennoji temple and became the largest cemetery in Japan at that time, with some 7,000 graves. Many famous figures are interred in this scenic necropolis, including Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last shogun of Japan. It is also note worthy for its fine stand of Cherry Blossom trees.
