Visiting the grave on the equinoctial week is remotely shot by the priest with a video call app

The 20th is the equinoctial week.

While the influence of the new coronavirus called for refraining from moving across prefectures, a service was offered at the graveyard in Fukui City where people outside the prefecture could remotely visit the grave using a video call app.

The service for visiting the grave is provided by an NPO corporation represented by the priest of the temple, Yoshinori Takada. We visited the grave while exchanging.

At the graveyard, the priest and his family cleaned the grave and filmed it using a video call app on his smartphone.

Finally, the chief priest read the sutras and finished visiting the grave on his behalf in about 30 minutes.

The woman who used the service said, "I used to go home every year to visit the grave, but as I got older, it became difficult and I used the service. The priest himself manages the grave, so I leave it to him with confidence. I was talking.

In addition, Mr. Takada said, "Although the influence of the new corona has been prolonged, I would like more people to use it, such as those who cannot return home."

This NPO corporation is undertaking a grave visit agency for graves in the Reihoku region in the northern part of Fukui prefecture, regardless of denomination.
