How it's used
Refers specifically to a burial ground that is landscaped or maintained like a park, often implying a more formal or respectful setting than a basic burial site. While technically correct, locals frequently use the more direct term 墳場 for general burial grounds, reserving this for places with a more garden-like appearance.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a standard, crowded, or rugged burial site, as it implies a level of aesthetic care and planning that most local burial grounds do not possess.
