何する？お盆の墓参り｜What Do You Do at a Japanese Grave?｜Japanese Podcast

お墓のお金って、誰がいつ払っているんでしょうか。母に聞いても、毎年払っている感じがまったくしないんです。じつは日本のお墓は、土地が自分のものになりません。後半は、増えている「墓じまい」の話です。 Obon is coming, so I started wondering something simple: who actually pays for our family grave? My mother doesn't seem to pay anything each year, and yet the grave is still there. In this episode: why you can never own the land under a Japanese grave, what 永代使用権 and 永代使用料 mean, what a grave really costs, and why 176,000 families closed a grave last year — twice as many as ten years ago. You'll pick up natural, easy Japanese for talking about Obon and family, learn how a Japanese grave visit actually works, and see why this change isn't people giving up on their ancestors. 【My Instagram for Japanese Learning】 https://www.instagram.com/yosuke_teac... 【Onikanji】https://onikanji.com/?ref=yosuketeach...
