Somei Graveyard Videos
Sugamo, Toshima Ward, Tokyo 「巣鴨」
When people mention Sugama, they usually think of Zizo-dori, whichi is dubbed A Harajyuku for the elederly. Of course it is covered on this video. However, I included the other two places which are worth visiting. One is Jigen Temple where the famous novelist Ryunoshuke Akutagawa sleeps. The other is Somei Cemetery situated close to Jigen Temple. In this cemetery such celebrities as Kotaro & Chieko Takamura (poet and his wife) Chiemei Futabatei(Novelist),Tenshin Okamura (Japanese Art Historian) rest peacefully.
