Yanaka Cemetery Cherry Blossoms

Yanaka and its cemetery are one of the first places we covered when we started this project. Now, three years later we would like to revisit this unique cemetery during the cherry blossoms! Enjoy!

If you are looking for something different to visit in Tokyo, I would highly recommend Yanaka, with, unfortunately, the exception of Yanaka Ginza. Yanaka is one of the places in Tokyo that has been frozen in time and that could, at least for us foreigners, be a bit weird. Indeed Yanaka is mainly famous for its vast cemetery where people not only come to pay respects to their ancestors and loved ones but also to stroll or to enjoy a bit of fun with its several kids playgrounds! Yep you read that correctly, Yanaka cemetery hosts playgrounds for kids.
