夏祭り:下駄供養 宿泊者に感謝 Geta Offering in Honor of Our Town's Guests

July 16, 2008: 温泉タウン戸倉上山田 Onsen Town Togura-Kamiyamada

Yearly Geta Offering

日々の「どうやってお客様に来ていただくか」の努力の中で「来たお客様に感謝」と言うことが忘れちゃうことが多いです。それで、上山田温泉夏祭りの一部で「下駄供養」が行います。今日はこの一年間でお客様が利用した下駄を集まって、水天宮の横で設置しました。今週末の祭りで供養します。
この一年間でお越しになった皆様に感謝しております。

When one's daily routine is based around how to attract more customers, it's easy to forget to be thankful for the guests who have come. As part of this weekend's Kamiyamada Onsen Summer Festival, the other ryokan owners and I perform a special Geta Offering. We gather the wooden sandals that our guests have used throughout the year, and offer them up in thanks.
I'd like to take this time to thank all of Kamesei's guests from the previous year. Arigatou!
