Experiencing one aspect of providing ryokan 'omotenashi'

信州大学の生徒達作のフリーペーパー「Tsunagaru」のスタッフが亀清に取材しに来てくれました。私と若女将の旅館の若旦那・若女将としての生活について記事を書いてくれるそうです。その一部として、本人たちも旅館の仕事を体験したいとのの事で、お客様のお名前を看板で書いてもらいました。

スタッフが大学生ですから、社会人としての人生がこれからですが、少しでも旅館の業界のニュアンスをお伝えできたかな?記事が出てくるのは楽しみにしております。

Students from our local university, Shinshu U., are producing a free magazine called "Tsunagaru" which basically means 'connecting'. Several of their staff members came to interview Mari and I for an article. Apparently they want to write about what it's like to run a ryokan. As part of their project, they wanted to experience a bit of what ryokan work is like. So I had them help out with writing the names of the guests on the sign boards.

These students have their whole lives out in the 'Real World' ahead of them. Hopefully I was able to convey what being an innkeeper is like. I'm looking forward to seeing the article.
