Following the signs for the bay shore route, take route 11 from Tokyo over the Rainbow Bridge, past Haneda Airport, over the Tsurumi-tsubasa and Bay Bridges. Turn onto K3. Once you arrive at Nagata Exit, follow the directions below.
From Nagata Exit to Hodogaya Cemetery
- Turn left at the junction at the bottom of the Nagata exit ramp. Follow this road for three blocks, until you reach the first set of traffic lights. A very small police box is at this intersection.
- Turn right and continue along this narrow road for about 2 km.
- You will pass a Shell Service Station after about half a kilometre, shortly thereafter the road veers to your left. Keep going!
- When you reach the Idemitsu Service Station, turn right. This even narrower road will take you up a twisty path to the top of the hill.
- Just after you crest the hill (and the road straightens out again), you should see a police man directing the traffic into the cemetery (a sharp left, down a very steep driveway). Go slowly!
