お墓参り

Visited my family's graveyard in Aoyama, Tokyo. My parents, my brother, my aunt, my uncle, my grandparents, my great-grandparents (and so on) are buried here (they were all cremated, so, what we have are the ashes. Otherwise it would be too crowded!). Want to come back again in spring when the cherry trees are in bloom. It is such a beautiful place but I won't be buried here (I will be in my husband's family graveyard near Mt. Fuji, I hope).

伯父の命日だったので青山墓地に行ってきました(私の両親、兄、伯母、伯父、祖父母、曽祖父母等がはいっているお墓です)。桜の季節にまた来たいです(美しい桜並木が有名です)。私自身はここには入らない(たぶん富士霊園の主人の家の墓に入れてもらえるのではないかと思う)のですが。
