Dieter3 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I had a chance (made it a point) to visit Tama cemetary in the Tama area of Tokyo. I really wanted to visit the grave of Admiral Togo as I'm particularly fascinated with the Russo-Japanese War. It so happens that Admiral Yamamoto's grave is right next to Togo's! Unfortunately, I had not enough time to explore completely this place - there are lot of interesting people here including other military persons. This was a great experience, hard to describe really (except for the blood-thirsty mosquitos that were out in full-force!). Here is Admiral Togo's full plot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
