千曲川の詩の反射に千曲川 The lyrics to "Chikuma River" with the actual Chikuma River in the background
五木ひろしという演歌家の｢千曲川｣という歌の記念で戸倉上山田温泉の中の万葉橋の横に千曲川側であります。歌の詩が書いてあるのでボタンを押せば、その歌が流れます。
今朝は演歌の好きなお客様と一緒に歩いて行ってみました。千曲川の流れをバックで、遠くの戸隠山を投げ目ながら、２人でその歌をひろしさんの声と一緒に歌いました。気持ち良かったけど、ビールがあれば更に良かったかもしれません。また今度、朝ではなく、夜に、そして泡の物を持って、もう一度来る約束しました。
There is a song by enka singer Hiroshi Itsuki called "Chikuma River". Here in Togura Kamiyamada Onsen, on the banks of the Chikuma River, there is a rock engraved with the lyrics to the song. And if you push a button, the song plays.
This morning I walked there with a guest that likes enka music. There, with the Chikuma River in the background, and the snow-capped Togakushi Mountain in the distance, we sang along with the voice of Hiroshi. It was fun, but we both agreed it would be more enjoyable with a beer. So we promised to come again some day, in the evening instead of morning, and with a frosty mug or two.

If there were only a beer tap...
