Every obon that I've been to has had some sort of Bingo game going on in a lower level of the church or temple. I suppose people really enjoy it, because the bingo room is always full. This temple's bingo room was in the same area as the udon eating area, so the room smelled really good!

The 2007 Higashi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple Obon was held on Saturday, July 28 and Sunday, July 29. For more information on the temple, please visit The Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple website.
