戸倉上山田温泉に射的屋さんは4件もあります。長野県の中でこんなに射的屋さんが多いのは、恐らくここだけ。

私は友達が遊びに来れば、射的によく連れて行きます。特に、子供連れの友達。皆が喜ぶ。

こんなに喜ばれている遊びはもっともっとPRしたいと思っていました。そのために、8月からは旅館青年部で射的大会を計画しています。まずは温泉街の射的屋さんを紹介するパンフを作りました。温泉の写真屋さん、富岡さんに協力して頂いて、写真撮影及びパンフのデザインをやって頂きました。写真の「さくら」はうちの娘と旅館仲間のところの子供達。

これからは戸倉上山田の旅館の皆さんが印刷して、お客さんに提供します。お越しになるお客様の喜びにつながると望んでいます！

Here in onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada, we are fortunate to have 4 shateki places. Shateki is basically a carnival-like game of target shooting using a cork-gun. And no other onsen resort town in Nagano has as many shateki joints as we do here.

Whenever a friend comes to visit, I often take him or her to go do shateki. Especially if they have kids. And everyone really has fun doing it. Our kids love shateki, too.

So I've always wanted to do something to better promote such a fun activity. And starting in August, the ryokan junior association and I are planning a shateki-related event. But first we had to make a brochure with information on the 4 shateki places.

I enlisted the help of Tomioka-san, our town's photographer. He took the photos and designed the pamphlet. And our daughter and the kids from another inn helped out by being the models in the pictures.

I've forwarded the brochure data to all of the inns for printing, so now us inns will be able to guide our guests to go and enjoy shateki!
