Yokohama has four cemeteries for foreigners, but the gaijin bochi is the best known and is also the oldest. It was established in 1859 when two Russian marines were interred on the grounds of Zotokuin Temple. Now there are about 4,500 graves, which include those of Meiji government employees, missionaries, teachers, journalists, traders, ships' crewmen, and military. There is an exhibition space with panel displays and photographs that outline the history of the foreign community in Yokohama. It should be mentioned that a volunteer organization, the Gaikokujin Bochi wo Aisurukai, offers tours.
