亀清旅館のお客様が時々旅の本を渡して、サインとか宿のハンコをお願いしてきます。沢山の観光地で色々な宿に泊まっている方には、どこでどの宿かとの良い思い出になります。良い習慣(趣味?)だと思います。旅行者によって、かなりの数の宿に泊まっていらっしゃっているので、こういう本を使いながらきっと「あっ、そう言えば、その秋に戸倉上山田温泉の青い目の若旦那の宿に泊まってよね」とかお思い出しになるのかな?
Once in a while, a guest of ours at Kamesei Ryokan will hand us a scrapbook when they check in. They ask all of the inns and hotels they stay at from the various destinations they travel to, to write a little note and stamp their book with the inn's stamp.
I think that's a great hobby to have, and the books make a nice momento and help keep track of all the places the guests have gone. As I sign the books, I wonder if the customers will look back at the page someday and have fond memories of their stay at our inn here in Nagano's Togura Kamiyamada Onsen.
