Yonezawa Uesugi clan cemetery, Feudal mausoleum in Yonezawa, Japan.
The Yonezawa Uesugi clan cemetery contains memorial wooden chapels for successive daimyo, surrounded by thousand-year-old cedar trees and stone lanterns.
Established in 1623, the cemetery gained national historic site status in 1984 and holds the remains of eleven regional lords from the Yonezawa Domain.
The cemetery layout follows specific arrangements with odd-generation daimyo on the right and even-generation daimyo on the left of Uesugi Kagetora's central chapel.
Located 10 minutes from Nishi-Yonezawa Station, the cemetery opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with admission fees of 400 yen for adults.
The site features over 1,000 votive stone lanterns contributed by vassals through generations, creating an extensive collection of memorial structures.
