姨捨駅の外観掃除が始まっています。いつも可愛いらしい駅舎は今、緑のネットで隠れています。6月まで我慢すれば、きっと更に綺麗な外観になります。
そして、姨捨駅・長楽寺周辺は下水道管工事が行われています。道の通行止めもあります。詳しくは千曲市観光協会のHPへ。
亀清旅館の姨捨夜景・伝説ツアーにこの工事は影響がありませんので、お客様の御希望があれば喜んでご一緒に行きます。是非、声をかけてください。この時期は姨捨の「田毎の月」で有名な棚田の田植えの準備が始まっています。今年こそ、田んぼ毎に映っている月様が見えるかな?
The Obasute Station station house is getting a heavy-duty cleaning. The normally cute station house is currently covered in green construction netting. But we'll only have to put up with it for a couple of months, and then the facade will surely be even cuter than ever.
In addition, the roads around Obasute Station and Choraku-ji Temple are being torn up for sewage pipe installation. The construction will result in some road closures. Details are on the Chikuma City Tourism Bureau's website.
None of this construction will affect Kamesei Ryokan's 'Obasute Legends / Night View Tour'. So if our guests would like to go on the tour, I would be happy to go with them. And the famous moon-reflecting Obausute rice fields are in the process of being prepared for flooding and planting. Hopefully this year I'll be able to see the moon reflecting in the rice pads.
