まさかな姨捨夜景 A Whodathunkit Obasute Night View

March 22, 2010: その他 Miscellaneous

Night View? What night view?

夕べの姨捨夜景が最悪でした。昨日の天気は一日変でした。前日は暖かい23℃でした。昨日の朝は起きたら、今まで見た中の一番ひどい黄砂で、周辺の山が見れなかった。お昼は風がすごくて、そして温度が急に下がった。夜にお客さんを連れて姨捨夜景・伝説ツアーに行こうとしたら雪が降っていました。(前日は23℃だったから、まさか雪が降ると思わなかった!)姨捨駅に着いたら、雪で真っ白でした。夜景は何も見えなくて、最悪でした。
まあ、伝説の話で勝負しましたのでお客さんは楽しんでくれましたが、またいつかは行きなおさんとあかんですね。まさかな夜景ツアーでした。

The night view from Obasute last night was the worst. All day long the weather had been so weird. The day before was an unseasonably warm 23 deg C clear day, but we woke up to the worst "yellow sand" (dust blowing over from the Gobi Desert) that I had ever seen. Then we had strong winds in the afternoon, followed by a dramatic drop in temperature. At night, when we took the guests to go see the night view from Obasute Station, it even started to snow. (Mind you, the previous day had been 23 deg C -- we certainly didn't expect snow!) Then when we got to the station, it was totally covered in snow, and we couldn't see any of the lights of the valley down below. The worst night view tour ever!
Well, I entertained our guests with stories of local legends, so I think they enjoyed the tour anyways, But we'll have to have them come again to see what the night view usually looks like!



Snow in late March? This is what we woke up to this morning.
