■ New Perpetual Memorial Graves and Tree Burials Opening in Hitachiomiya City
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, perpetual memorial graves and tree burials, where the temple will perpetually manage and hold memorial services, will newly open at Shoginji in Hitachiomiya City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
According to Hitachiomiya City, "The aging rate of our city was 40.2% as of October 2023 (Reiwa 5), tracking significantly higher than the aging rates of the whole country and Ibaraki Prefecture, and it is predicted that by 2040 (Reiwa 22), the rate will reach 49.5%, ushering in a society where one in two people is elderly." The progression of aging is a significant challenge for the local community.

Based on this background, our company has built new perpetual memorial graves at 'Shoginji' in Hitachiomiya City that do not require a successor for the grave. Because the temple will perpetually hold memorial services for the deceased, those without successors or those living alone can also utilize them. Furthermore, by considering a grave while still alive as part of end-of-life planning, individuals can prepare for the future.
■ Secure Graves Fulfilled by 'Shoginji', a Historic 750-Year-Old Temple Open to the Community
Shoginji is a temple with over 750 years of history, located about a 10-minute walk from Hitachiomiya Station. While situated in a calm environment surrounded by nature and residences, it is loved as a place open to the community, regularly hosting events such as yoga and Rakugo (traditional comic storytelling).
The newly established perpetual memorial graves feature 'perpetual memorial services included in all plans', 'no annual management fees*', and 'dedicated staff stationed on-site' so that they can be used with peace of mind for a long time. Additionally, there is no need to become a parishioner, but the temple will responsibly conduct the memorial services.
There is a large parking space right near the grave area, and the gently sloping ramp at the entrance and step-free design ensure that wheelchair users can visit safely.
* The management fee for the entire period is included in the initial payment.
■ Proposing Graves that Meet Your Desires with Multiple Selectable Plans
From Saturday, April 25, we will start accepting sales applications for the perpetual memorial graves and tree burials at Shoginji. Because the points of emphasis, such as the number of people, budget, and design, differ for each customer, we have prepared multiple plans to meet a wide range of needs.
On-site viewing sessions carefully guide one group at a time by prior reservation, so you can easily consult about any concerns or anxieties.

Applications can be made starting from a single person, such as individual plots that are not communal or tree burials that return to nature.
