It is the time of obon (お盆), the Bon Festival when the spirits of ancestors come back from the other world. As a custom we visit the grave yard, so I did too. There were many people there.
At this time people can take days off and return to their home town to get together or travel. So there are traffic jams here and there. Tomorrow will be the peak of returning, and there must be heavy traffic on the highways back to Tokyo area.
