亀清旅館の庭師、岡田さんは顔を出してくれて、それぞれの庭をチェックしてくれました。冬の雪が殆ど解けて、春先の様子を見てくれました。そして、所々に、春の動きを見つけました。「100年風呂」露天風呂の雑木林庭にヒマラヤユキノシタやワラビ、客室の庭の去年に植えた紅玉の葉っぱ、亀清の庭がちょっとずつ起きてきています。岡田さんの写真をここで提供します。
Our gardener, Okada-san, stopped by to inspect how Kamesei Ryokan's garden survived the winter. The last of the snow has pretty much all melted away, and the garden is starting to wake up from its winter nap. Okada-san saw signs of spring here and there throughout the garden, such as the elephant ear flowers and the "warabi" wild flower in the garden around our 100 Year Bath outdoor bath, as well as new growth on the heirloom variety "kogyoku" apple tree he planted for us last fall. Here are some pictures that Okada-san provided.
