Japanese Cemetery Park

On my trip to Singapore last year, I explored various sites listed in Atlas Obscura. One of the sites - the Japanese Cemetery Park - piqued the interest of my classmate as it is located close to her home. We decided to explore this site on one of her evening walks.

Established in 1891 on the site of a former rubber plantation, the cemetery now nestled in the middle of an upmarket housing estate and it is the final resting place for an eclectic mix of soldiers, sex workers, and business owners. Singapore has had a complicated history with Japan, and the cemetery represents some of that history. The park itself was a serene spot and it was well worth the time we spent exploring.
