Shogitai Memorial

  • Address: Taito-ku, Tokyo

Fodor's Review:

Time seems to heal wounds very quickly in Japan. Only six years after the Shogitai had destroyed most of Ueno Hill in 1868, the Meiji government permitted these Tokugawa loyalists to be honored with a gravestone, erected on the spot where their bodies had been cremated.

  • Subway: JR Ueno Station (Koen-guchi/Park Exit); Keisei private rail line, Keisei-Ueno Station (Higashi-guchi/East Exit)
