お月様と春雪 Spring Snow and the Moon

2012.03.13: 季節 Seasons

Kamesei Ryokan and the vicinity covered in spring snow.

今朝に起きて外に見たら、中庭、屋根、周辺の山々、すべてが真っ白でした。20cmぐらいの雪でした。しかし、3月の雪はすぐ溶けます。

パーフェクトな雪景色に真っ青の空にお月様。最高に綺麗な景色な日。

皆さん、楽しんでください。私は戸倉上山田温泉の宣伝キャラバンで東京へお出かけします。

Woke up this morning to the stunning sight of fresh snow covering Kamesei's naka-niwa garden, the roofs, the nearby hills -- everything was blanketed in beautiful snow. About 20cm of the white stuff.

Unfortunately, snow this time of year doesn't stick around for very long. But while it's here, with the turquoise blue sky and the moon shining down, it makes for an amazingly beautiful sight.

I hope everyone in Nagano takes the time to appreciate the beauty. For me, I'm off to Tokyo for 2 days of sales promoting our onsen town, Togura-Kamiyamada.
