A thoroughly exquisite place in a very dignified setting. This cemetery houses the remains of both the Showa and Taisho Emperors, who rest in traditional kofuns (or burial mounds) with their wives, the Empresses Koujun and Teimei, beside them. It is an exquisite graveyard, best visited in autumn when the beauty of the surrounding trees is apparent. To reach the cemetery it is about a ten minute walk from Takao station. Takao station is located on two lines, the Chuo and the Keio.
