Obon

Obon has a family-reunion element, as the Japanese will return to their ancestral homes to be reunited with relatives living and deceased.

因为在节日期间，日本人会回到祖籍和那些活着及死去的亲属团聚，盂兰盆节也有了家庭团聚的因素。

We were warned that it might not be the spiritual journey it once was and that we would be sharing it with many others – particularly during the Obon holiday period.

我们被告知，登山也许不像曾经的那样是一次精神旅程了，还有许多其他人会和我们一起登山，特别是在盂兰盆节期间。
