July 11, 2012: メディア Media

This month's issue of "Onsen" journal features an article by Yours Truly

日本温泉協会の一流「温泉」月刊の7月1日号のテーマは「温泉はインバウンドの柱」です。外国人の温泉旅館の若旦那として頼まれて、私が記事を提供しました:

「天職: 青い目の温泉バカ」

戸倉上山田温泉・亀清旅館の魅力、苦労話、露天風呂造り、インバウンドの活動、そしてお客様に寛げる場面の提供の幸せ。

私も日本の温泉が外国人観光客を呼ぶ柱だと思っています。温泉協会がこのテーマを特集にして、感謝しております。
その中で、私に記事を頼んで頂いて、嬉しかったです。

是非、お読みになってみてください。

The Japan Spa Association's prestigious monthly journal "Onsen" features onsens as a pillar of "Inbound" (attracting tourists from overseas) in their July 1st, 2012 edition. Being a foreigner running an onsen ryokan, I was asked to write an article for the journal. Hence,

"The Perfect Job: A Blue-Eyed Onsen 'Baka' (Fool)"

The charm of our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada and our inn, Kamesei Ryokan, my trials and tribulations, building the outdoor baths, my "inbound" activities, and my happiness from providing our guests a place to relax.

I, too, believe Japan's onsens are an important tool for attracting travellers from overseas. I am grateful the national onsen association dedicated an issue of their journal to the topic of foreigners. And I am thankful they asked me to submit an article.

Pick up a copy and read the article for yourself!
