The tree burial in Inagawa Cemetery is located in the rich nature of the Hokusetsu Mountains. The 148 caskets in 35 cm square are laid out in the portion of the beautiful scenery of the hill with the cherry blossoms trees. The huge stones aligned in a row shape its landscape and create the altar for the common grave. The caskets can sit in the peaceful and quiet place in the hills where the cherry blossoms grows.
