Congratulations Tsuyoshi and Mariko!
昨日はJRの大型宣伝「信州デスティネーションキャンペーン」の始まりでした。でも、別な理由で戸倉上山田温泉の皆が盛り上がっていました:主の旅館「梅むら」の長男が結婚しました。当温泉の新たな若旦那・若女将誕生で、大きなお祝いでした。旅館の皆及び商店の皆が集まりまして、披露宴に芸者さんも来まして、豪華でした。
剛さん、真理子さん、ご結婚をおめでとうございます。
Yesterday was the kick-off of JR's huge Nagano Destination Campaign. However, everyone here at Togura Kamiyamada Onsen was celebrating for a different reason. The oldest son of one our town's main ryokans, Umemura, got married. He and his new wife will both work at the inn and eventually be the next generation owners. All of the other ryokan people as well as shop owners in town gathered for the big event, which was highlighted by a spectacular dance by the geisha filled with colorful pageantry.
Congratulations on your special day, Tsuyoshi and Mariko.
