Japanese Cemetery Park: A Quiet Place of Reflection

Located in a serene residential area away from the hustle and bustle of Singapore, the Japanese Cemetery Park is the largest Japanese cemetery in Southeast Asia, with numerous gravestones lined up in its grounds. This tranquil resting place of predecessors is surrounded by vibrant flowers, offering a calming atmosphere to visitors. Designed as a park, it serves as both a place of prayer and a peaceful retreat. 🌸 Within the park, you can also find a monument dedicated to Futabatei Shimei, a pioneer of modern Japanese literature, which highlights the historical connection between Japan and Singapore. Rather than a tourist attraction, this is a "place to find peace of mind," recommended for those who wish to discover another story of Singapore. 📍 Access: About a 5-minute taxi ride from MRT Kovan Station.

Japanese Cemetery Park

#exploresgtogether #attractions #history The Japanese cemetery park is located in Hougang. It is the largest Japanese cemetery in Southeast Asia at 29,359 square metres, consisting of 910 tombstones that contain the remains of members of the Japanese community in Singapore, including young Japanese prostitutes, civilians, soldiers and convicted war criminals executed in Changi Prison. It was gazetted as a memorial park by the Singapore government in 1987. The park is typically opened 8am to 6pm and the bougainvillaeas flowers can be seen in full bloom at different times of the year. It’s always a sight to behold with many comparing it to the likes of Japan’s cherry blossoms. Although a pretty photo spot, do also bear in mind to be respectful as it is after all a cemetery.
