Fancy viewing cherry blossoms in a cemetery! This is exactly what we did. Took a train to the Aoyama cemetery to view cherry blossoms. Not in full bloom yet. Only a few trees flowering. A peaceful and serene place to take a walk. Tombstones in neat rows.

Tucked in about 5 minutes walk from Omotesando's shopping street, this vast area will be full of cherry blossoms from around March 25 to the 1st week of April. You'll love a pleasant walk around!

Japanese have nice tastes in general and this extends to the cemetery. Take a stroll (on a hot day by preference) in the cemetery to look at the graves and the beautifully taken care of trees. Free.

This cemetery is both peaceful and well laid out, it's easy to stroll in and the monuments are very artistic and interesting.
If you time it right and the cherry blossoms are in bloom it much be amazing.

If you have an interest in Cemeteries around the world this will need to be a visit if you are in Tokyo. Fascinating to see and a lovely walk with the sakura are out in bloom.

It may seem strange to head to a cemetery for sakura viewing. Nevertheless, Aoyama Cemetery is a wonderful site for doing just that. No hanami parties - no food - respectful behavior is a necessity, which is just fine with us.
The walking paths are lined with pink sakura and the expansive grounds have many more trees, several varieties of sakura and other flowering and non-flowering species.
The cemetery covers a lot of territory and it takes a long while to walk through it. There is an information center which can provide you with a good map. There are toilets nearby and drinks machines - be sure to finish your beverage before leaving this area.
The graves are very touching and emotional. The foreigners’ cemetery section sheds light on the history of expats from many countries living in Japan years ago. The headstones of the Japanese revealed information through the carvings and dates, even for those of us who don’t read the language. In a few places there was English signage.
We also came to Aoyama Cemetery to pay our respects at the grave of Hachikō. The Akita Hachikō’s loyalty to his master, Professor Ueno, is a story known to everyone in Japan and to many visitors to Japan. His little grave site, in the small enclosure with his master’s tomb, contains a shrine, a small statue of an Akita, vases for flowers, incense sticks. It brought tears to my eyes. We left a token at his grave site as many others had before us.
Hachikō’s Grave is located area 6, plot 12.

This is a huge, lovely cemetery in the heart of Tokyo. It's a wonderful place for viewing the cherry blossoms when they are in bloom, Japanese make use of it in droves for "flowing viewing" picnics during the cherry-blossom season. If you're staying in a nearby hotel, there are several kilometers of paths for your "daily constitutional". One drawback, especially when the cherry trees are in bloom, is the proximity of the helicopter landing pad across the street. Several daily flights there are both noisy and cause early scattering of the cherry blossoms.

Road through the Aoyama Cemetery as part of a bike tour. It is winter, the trees are nearly bare ... but it was serene and inspiring.

A great strolling place especially during the cherry blossom season. I am a walker and love to stroll past Aoyama Cemetery continuing along spacious avenues to Akasaka-Mitsuke and beyond to the Imperial Palace.
