The Japanese Cemetery Park (Kanji: 日本人墓地公園; rōmaji: Nihonjin bochi kōen) is a cemetery and park in Hougang, Singapore. It is the largest Japanese cemetery in South East Asia at 29,359 square metres, consisting of 910 tombstones that contain the remains of members of the Japanese community in Singapore, including young Japanese prostitutes, civilians, soldiers and convicted war criminals executed at Changi Prison in Singapore. It was gazetted (announced or published in an official journal or in a newspaper) as a memorial park by the Singapore Government in 1987.

We finally went (finally cause I've been wanting to go since 5 years ago), sun was bright, and warm. :)

Took a morning stroll since the park is a 15 minute walk from our place. Situated along Chuan Hoe Road, off Yio Chu Kang Road. We were lucky to peek into the shrine cause it was opened for cleaning by a group of Japanese.
Other things that mattered @ the park. =P
