This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday. People return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors' graves, and when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars.
However I spent my Obon holiday in Jozankei, Sapporo. It is about 30mins drive from Sapporo down town, and famous for Onsen (Hot Springs).
There is a river called Toyohiragawa and Mountain called Sapporodake and that's where I spent the most of my time....
今年のお盆は札幌、定山渓で過ごしました。 豊平川上流、札幌岳、温泉と札幌から車で30分の所とは思えないほどの自然を満喫してきました。
On the way to the peark. They were full of life, and made me stop and think...
かなり可愛い。
Spider webs are amazing!
蜘蛛の巣ってすごい！
Strainer? There were not much water on the river....
川には本当に水が無かったけど、その分歩きやすかったな。
