亀清旅館の離れ風の客室は庭付き（「マイガーデン」？）です。毎年、うちの庭師がそれぞれの庭を綺麗に作ってくれています。2年前は「千歳」と「末広」の前の坪庭を作ってくれて、去年は同じ千歳と末広のそれぞれのマイ庭を作りました。今度は今月に「松風」の庭を作る予定です。少しずつの改善です。
去年に作ってくれた千歳の杏の庭と末広の紅玉の庭の植物がだんだん馴染んできました。この間の朝に布団上げしに行ったら、こんなに綺麗な風情になっていました。
常連のお客様に良く言われます:「来る度にどこかの庭が新しくなっていて、楽しいです。」今度は松風の庭。私は楽しみにしています。

Kamesei Ryokan's 'Hanare-fu' detached guest rooms all have private gardens. We have been making improvements to them one by one over the past few years. Two years ago, our gardener remade the tsubo-niwa pocket gardens in front of 'Chitose' and 'Suehiro'. Last year he remade those two rooms' private gardens. Next, this month, he will remake the garden for 'Matsukaze'.
The new plants he put in last fall in Chitose and Suehiro have really adjusted well to their new locations. The other morning when I went to flip futons in Chitose, I was greeted by this lovely view of the flowers.
Many of our regular guests say every time they to Kamesei a new garden has been made, giving them something to look forward to with each trip. I am looking forward to Matsukaze's new garden, too!
