Obon is the ritual ceremony to honor the spirit of their ancestors from around the 13th to the 16th of August in Japan. Many people go back to their hometowns and clean the tombs and offer something. Many people take a vacation during the season. It is also when family members get together like Christmas in western countries. It is also the season of traffic jam too.
Take care and have a nice day. Drink enough water and keep yourself cool.
