I bought round trip railway tickets to my hometown 3 weeks ago. My parents live far from here, so I need to ride the Hokuriku bullet train for about 1.5 hours. I will take a holiday from the 11th to 15th, because the Japanese have a traditional buddhist ceremony at this time. Every summer season we have to welcome our ancestors. People believe that their ancestors help them achieve a happy and healthy if their descendants respect them. Elderly people especially have this tendency. I’m not a devout Buddhist. But I understand that many people feel a longing for their deceased grandparents. That feeling is related to this custom. In my case, this is one of the customs every summer. Actually I can’t believe in the spirits of ancestors but I never say anything to my family.
