About Inage Ryouen 納骨堂、寺院
稲毛陵苑は、東京近郊に建つ、寺院と機械式納骨堂を融合した供養施設である。都市化と家族構成の変化により、都市部では墓地不足が生じている。稲毛陵苑は、参拝しやすい屋内墓苑によってこの需要に応えている。従来の機械式墓苑では遺骨は小さな厨子に安置されるが、ここでは伝統的な墓と同様に、墓石の下の地下空間に遺骨を納める。建築には石、木、紙が用いられている。ラウンジ、寺院、参拝室、屋上庭園が3つの階層に配置されている。

- Unique Properties
- Inage ryouen is the first grave-type mechanical ossuary in Japan and it is a memorial architecture for bereaved families to conduct the funeral ceremony and pay their respect.
Change in lifestyle and urbanization creates a need for a change from a traditional local graveyard to an easy access urban ossuary.
Inage ryouen is a solution to the urban grave shortage, and memorial halls that are easy to visit. It has been designed so that it does not feel like a machine, and this indoor cemetery is as close as possible to a traditional grave site. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Production Technology
- Conventional mechanical cemeteries have a small niche/ locker columbarium, whereas here the remains are stored under the tombstone. We developed a new system with Toyota L&F that allows us to secure storage space in the basement, just like traditional graves.
Natural materials such as stone, wood, and paper were used for the construction, architectural and interior design such as furniture, signage, gravestone materials, and also transport systems. - Inspiration
- In Japan, with the aging of baby boomers, the number of deaths has doubled from 1980 to 2020, and has exceeded 1.3 million.
Also, due to the low birthrate and aging population, urbanization, and change in family structure, there is a growing need for a solution to the shortage of graves in urban areas and memorial halls that are easy to visit and respect individuality. - Project Duration
- Project completed in 15/03/2018
Project Location: 3-7-5 Inage Higashi, Inage-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba, Japan - Operation Flow
