Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery Open House Volunteer Wanted
The Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery is situated in a scenic and residential area of Yokohama and is known as a historical spot in the history of Japan. The Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery Foundation has managed this cemetery since Meiji Era.
The Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery is not under the jurisdiction of any local or any single government, we are also not being sponsored by such entities, therefore committee is totally responsible for collecting or raising funds required for the general operations of the cemetery.
The cemetery is in need of constant maintenance, land fortification, and so forth. The cemetery currently only has a limited amount of space left for grave and therefore with new plot sales no longer an option for a reliable source of income, we are relying on our Open House Program to raise funds to pay our expenses.
The Open House Program allows visitors to tour predetermined route of the cemetery for general viewing in lieu of a small donation of Yen 500 or more.
We require assistance in the form of volunteers to guide visitors and perform other simple chores during our Open House days.
We would be most grateful for your assistance in the form of volunteers to raise funds to help preserve and maintain this important historical spot in Yokohama.
