Musashi Imperial Graveyard (武蔵陵墓地 Musashi ryōbochi?) is a mausoleum complex of the Japanese emperors in Nagabusa-machi, Hachiōji, Tokyo, Japan. Located within a forest in the western suburbs of Tokyo and named for the ancient Musashi Province, the site contains the mausolea of the Taishō and the Emperor Shōwa, as well as those of their wives, the Empress Teimei and the Empress Kōjun.

The Taishō Emperor was the first Emperor of Japan to be buried in Tokyo. He has been called the first "Tokyo Emperor" because he was the first to live his entire life in or near Tokyo. His father, Emperor Meiji, was born and reared in Kyoto; and although he later lived and died in Tokyo, his mausoleum is located on the outskirts of Kyoto, near the tombs of his Imperial forebears.
