If you want to see a classic Japanese graveyard in Tokyo, head over to the beautiful, sprawling Yanaka Cemetery. It oozes patina and contains several graves of the Shogun, including the last one, Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
Yanaka is big, containing about 7,000 graves.
Of course, a Gothic, moody feel to the place. Traditional wood ancestral tablets.
Blooms breaking out. The cherry trees flowering in the spring are a major attraction.
Going for the classic Japanese rock garden look.
Add a torii gate and plenty of moss and you've got a classic mixture for an old Japanese cemetery.
