English Version
Aoyama Cemetery in Minato, Tokyo, is often said to be the birthplace of one of Japan’s most famous urban legends: the story of a woman who gets into a taxi, only to vanish before reaching her destination. When the driver touches the seat where she had been sitting, it is mysteriously wet.
The cemetery is one of the largest in Tokyo’s 23 wards and has a long history. It is also said that some of its older graves have fallen into decay, with a number of graves no longer actively maintained.
Aoyama Cemetery is located at 2-33 Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo. If you visit, remember that it is a real cemetery, not just a haunted spot. Stay on public paths, be respectful of the graves, and avoid entering restricted or unsafe areas.
