The foreign cemetery covers an area of 139,000 sq. meters. It has its
own chapel and offers an eternal resting place for about 2,130
foreigners of 44 different nationalities.

Kobe originally had two foreign cemeteries. One, Onohama, located in
the foreign settlement, the other located in Kasugano.
In the early 1950s, the Kobe City Government began relocating all
foreigners' graves to a new Foreigners' Cemetery, the Kobe Municipal
Foreign Cemetery, in Futatabi Park in the hills high above the city.
This was completed in 1962.
Mount Futatabi, in a pleasant woodland location, has the graves of
many long-term residents
