Okunoin (奥の院) is the world's oldest still-used graveyard. It's located in a cedar forest on a mountain and nature is constantly reclaiming the monuments.

No problem, thanks for sending me down this rabbithole again! I took this photo a decade ago, and my Japanese back then as well as Google autotranslate's Japanese, was very poor so I actually got to answer a whole bunch of questions I had during the trip just now. The whole place is super fascinating for many reasons though, and the weird corporate monument thing is just a small part of that.
