apple orchard winterscape
戸倉上山田温泉もそうですが、温泉の近辺のりんご畑も雪で真っ白になっています。農家さん達は雪があっても、剪定を始まっています。大変な作業でしょう。そして、亀清旅館のロビーに薪ストーブがあり、剪定物を薪の為に頂に行きます。それこそ、大変な作業です。まあ、取り敢えず、りんご畑の美しい雪景色を楽しみましょう。
Not only here in Togura Kamiyamada Onsen, but also the apple orchards nearby are covered in elegant white snow. Even with snow, the apple growers have to start pruning the trees. That must be hard work. And then people like us here at Kamesei Ryokan with wood burning stoves go around to the orchards and collect the trimmings to use as fire wood. But lets not think about work right now -- let's just enjoy the beautiful winter scenery.
