Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend tells you in Japanese that you have to go with him to run an errand today. You expect to stop by the grocery store or the bank, but instead, he takes you to a graveyard in his Japanese hometown. You explain that graveyards freak you out since you watched a ton of horror movies as a child, but he tells you he’s there to visit his grandparents, so you stop whining and follow him. In this lesson, you’ll learn about the Japanese holiday called Obon, which is the Lantern Festival. We’ll explain the significance of this Japanese celebration and explain why you should travel to the mountains in Kyoto, Japan to witness it.
