Foreign cemeteries in Japan

The foreign cemeteries in Japan (外国人墓地, gaikokujin bochi; "foreigner cemetery") are chiefly located in Tokyo and at the former treaty ports of Kobe, Hakodate, Nagasaki, and Yokohama. They contain the mortal remains of long-term Japan residents or other foreigners who died in Japan, and are separate from any of the military cemeteries.
