上山田温泉の郵便局に顔を出したら、千曲市の切手が売れていて、びっくりしました。オリジナルフレーム切手「信州 千曲市」というので、1000枚限定だそうです。金額は1200円で、千曲市周辺の郵便局の13局でしか販売していないそうです。
よく見たら、切手の一つは何と戸倉上山田温泉の絵だ!嬉しいですね。
When I stopped in at the Kamiyamada Onsen post office, I spotted this poster for a new set of stamps with a Chikuma City theme. Apparently the post office made a limited issue of 1000 sheets of stamps featuring different areas of our city. The price is 1,200 yen, and the sheets can only be purchased at one of the 13 area post offices.
I was especially pleased to see that one of the stamps shows a picture of our onsen town, Togura Kamiyamada. I don't think my home town of Seattle ever got its own stamp!
