戸倉上山田温泉のおかみの会のプロデュース、アトリエバンブーの佐藤さんの作品で、この地元の「小石（恋し）の湯」伝説のオブジェ、「幸せの赤い石」は１０月２１日に発表されました。
カラコロ足湯のある公園内で設置されているモニュメントは皆様の叶い事を待っています。ハロウィーンパーティーの前に、魂入りの儀式が行われました。亀清旅館の若女将も参加しました。
今度、戸倉上山田にお越しの際、是非に見に行ってみてください。
On October 21st, Togura Kamiyamada Onsen's newest landmark was officially dedicated, the "Red Stone of Happiness".
Our onsen's Ladies Guild commissioned local artist Satoh-san to make the monument. Located in the main park in the middle of the onsen, the red stone refers a local legend about finding 100 red stones in the Chikuma River and having your wish granted.
A special ceremony was held on the 21st with a shinto priest presiding over a blessing for the stone. Kamesei Ryokan's junior proprietress, Mari, participated as well. The event took place right before the big Halloween party.
So, next time you come to onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada, come and bring your wish to the red rock of happiness.
