The Japanese Cemetery Park

The Japanese Cemetery Park is snuggled in the heart of Chuan Hoe Avenue near Serangoon Gardens. A majority of Japanese belong to the Shinto religion and so the cemetery itself has a Shinto ethos. In fact, Shintoism is an action-centred religion where actions need to be carried out diligently so as to ensure that the connection between the past and present is strong. It’s a very good place to go if you want peace and quiet, while listening to birds chirp in the background. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you do go there, do be respectful will you? Here are some other shots from the park. Please be respectful during your time here, as it is, after all, a cemetery. #happylaborday #rediscoversg #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook

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.
