Returning to Obon's Roots in Matsushima, Miyagi
Because of the tsunami, last year Matsushima's fireworks show was canceled. Replacing it this year from August 14th to the 16th was the Matsushima Ryūtōe Umi no Bon.
The Bon (or Obon) festival is one of Japan's major holidays, and many large events with carnival atmosphere take place. But originally it is a Buddhist occasion to welcome the return of ancestors' spirits and pay respects.
This year, Matsushima brings these roots back, turning anew what had been an event focused on the carnival into a memorial and prayer of repose for the spirits of loved ones passed.

Japan Trip 2012 Tokyo Hama-rikyu Gardens of the Tokugawa Shogun. -08
Hamarikyu Gardens From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hamarikyu Gardens (浜離宮恩賜庭園 Hama-rikyū Onshi Teien?) is a public park in Chūō, Tokyo, Japan. Located at the mouth of the Sumida River, it was opened April 1, 1946. The park is a 250,165 m² landscaped garden surrounding Shioiri Pond, the park itself surrounded by a seawater moat filled by Tokyo Bay. It was remodeled as a public garden park on the site of a villa of the Shogun Tokugawa family in the 17th century.
Visitors can also enjoy refreshment at a teashop in Nakashima located in the middle of the pond in the garden that offers matcha and Japanese sweets in a tea-ceremony style. A peony garden, plum tree grove and cosmos fields have flowers for every season. Japanese falconry and aikido are demonstrated at New Year.
