I've seen that outdoor bath somewhere...
千曲市観光協会の夏｢歳時記」の代表露天風呂はなんと、亀清旅館｢１００年風呂｣になりました。
実は、私が印刷物の部会に入っていて、この歳時記の為の話し合いの時に、使う予定の写真がＮＧになった。｢代わりに、夏らしい露天風呂の写真はありますか？｣と言う話になって、私が手を上げました。気付いたら、私しか手を上げていなかった。先輩の怒られました。｢うちの宿にお風呂は倍あるのに、俺は一度も｢載せて｣と言った事がないぞ」と。まあ、結果オーケーじゃないですか？この若旦那の手作り露天風呂が戸倉上山田温泉の為に役に立っていて嬉しいです。
Kamesei Ryokan's "100 Year Bath" is the feature picture for Chikuma City Tourism Association's summer brochure!
Actually, I am on the team that puts together the brochures. For the feature on Togura Kamiyamada Onsen, an issue came up with the picture that was scheduled to be used, so when asked if anyone has a summer-y picture of an outdoor bath, I raised my hand. Looking around, I realized I was the only one raising his hand. My "senpai" senior reprimanded me, "Even with all the baths my inn has, I've never pushed to have one featured in the city's publications!" Oh well, at least the city has a nice photo for its brochure! And I'm glad the bath I built by hand myself is being useful for the town!
