The Russian Orthodox cemetery in Nagasaki is located on Inasa Mountain in the eponymous prefecture of Japan. It contains about 530 graves over an area of 1500 m², as well as the Orthodox chapel of St. Nicholas.

The history of the cemetery dates back to 1598 when the Buddhist temple Goshinji was built in Nagasaki. In the early 17th century, foreigners began to be buried here: first the Chinese, then Europeans. In 1853, officers from the frigate Pallada visited the temple, as the Japanese authorities offered this place for the temporary accommodation of Russian sailors. In 1858, the first Russian graves appeared in the cemetery, where sailors from the frigate Askold under the command of Captain 1st Rank I. S. Unkovsky were buried. Among the first buried was midshipman Vladimir Pavlovsky from the clipper Izumrud.

On April 18, 1891, during a visit to Japan, the future Emperor of Russia Nicholas II inspected the cemetery.

On the day of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945, the epicenter of the explosion was only a kilometer from the cemetery. As a result of the explosion, the stone fence was destroyed, gravestones were torn off and shattered, and many tombstones and steles melted from the heat.

In 1967, thanks to a request from writer Konstantin Simonov to the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR A. N. Kosygin, work began on the restoration of the cemetery. In 1969, with the support of the city authorities and public organizations of Nagasaki, the cemetery of Russian soldiers was restored.

On April 19, 1991, the Russian cemetery was visited by the President of the USSR M. S. Gorbachev.

At the cemetery near the Goshinji temple, one can see the graves of soldiers and sailors. Among them stands out an inscription on a large gray boulder: "Baby Mikhail Myulberg. Born November 13, 1904. Died January 4, 1905. Lord! According to Your unchanging promise, receive our little one into Your kingdom."
