Aizuhanshu Matsudaira Family Grave

This cemetery is where successive Matsudaira domain lords are laid to rest, from Masatsune Hoshina, the second lord of the Aizu domain, to Katamori, the ninth lord of the domain at the end of the Edo period (1603-1867). Successive lords and their families rest on this vast site of over 15 square meters. Three to nine generations of domain leaders were buried following Shinto rituals, which is rare in Japan, and it is possible to see unique structures throughout the cemetery. Many people visit when there is fresh greenery and the autumn leaves are changing colors. The first leader of the domain, Masayuki Hoshina, is buried at Hanitsu Shrine in Inawashiro Town.
