Walking around Joshinji temple cemetery

九品仏浄真寺
Tokyo Kanto Summer Daytime Temples & Shrines

About This Video

When we started TokyoStreetView three years ago, the first temple we covered was the Joshinji. Not only is this temple very close to where we live, but its unique atmosphere has always been something we loved. Especially so when it comes to its cemetery. Indeed, unlike western cemeteries Japanese cemeteries are full of vegetation and can often be considered as small park. Many such cemeteries even include a playground and places for a nice quiet picnic.
