Ushiku Jōen

牛久浄苑

Ushiku Jōen is a large-scale park cemetery in Ushiku, Ibaraki Prefecture, on roughly 370000 square meters of grounds watched over by the Ushiku Daibutsu, described on the official site as the world's tallest bronze Buddha. It is presented as a new complex cemetery beyond traditional grave forms, with seasonal flower fields and related facilities including Jūhō-dō for memorial rites. Official pages guide burial, memorial services, annual events such as the Bon joint memorial service, and cemetery tours. This is a cemetery and memorial park, not a general sightseeing attraction; check tour reception hours on the official site.
