Ever wonder what a Japanese grave yard looks like?

Probably not, but that won't stop me from showing you. If you didn't know, almost everyone who passes away here is cremated. After the funeral service, the close guests go to the grave and put the remains (bones and ash) into the grave. Also, graves are not separated here by person, but by family. Most of the grave yards are really well kept and often get visited by the family with flowers. I took a few shots of the one I went to today in Numazu before going to the fireworks festival.
