What is Obon Festival?
Obon is a Japanese Buddhist tradition held each August 13–15 to honor the spirits of ancestors. Families return home, clean grave sites, and light lanterns to guide spirits back. The festival features Bon Odori folk dances, floating paper lanterns on rivers, and a profound sense of togetherness across generations.
