代代幡齋場

Yoyohata Saijo is a crematorium in Nishihara that combines cremation halls and funeral ceremony spaces within a modern building complex in western Tokyo. The facility contains multiple functional areas designed to serve both practical operations and formal farewell services.

The crematorium opened on May 20, 1889, marking the start of organized funeral services in the Shibuya district. This founding established standards for burial practices in Tokyo and the surrounding region.

The facility welcomes various funeral ceremonies following Buddhist, Shinto, Christian, and secular practices, showing how Japanese communities observe different burial traditions. Visitors notice how each ceremony space is adapted to suit different beliefs and customs.

The facility sits roughly 6 minutes on foot from Hatagaya Station on the Keio New Line and about 20 minutes from Yoyogi-Uehara Station. Visitors should check accessibility and use public transit to reach the location.

The cremation area features marble finishes and chandeliers, creating a formal and respectful setting. A small specialized furnace section serves intimate ceremonies as an alternative to larger spaces.
