Discover the Traditions of Obon
The Obon Festival is celebrated across Japan as a time to honour ancestors and spend time with loved ones. While every region has its own customs, many Obon festival traditions include gathering with family, visiting temples, enjoying seasonal food and lighting lanterns that symbolise guiding spirits home.
One of the most recognisable symbols of the festival is the glowing Obon lantern (Bon-chōchin), with rows of lanterns creating a peaceful and memorable atmosphere. Our restaurant will feature traditional chōchin lantern displays throughout August, allowing guests to experience a small part of these beautiful Obon festival activities, while enjoying great food and company here with East at West One.
