Aoyama Cemetery Avenue

青山霊園

Aoyama, Tokyo · 東京

A central avenue running through Tokyo’s most expensive cemetery, arched over by old cherry trees and almost empty on a weekday.

Why it’s worth it

In blossom week the tunnel is complete and there is no barrier, no vendor and almost no crowd. Locals treat it as a park; be quiet and so should you.
