貯金箱博物館 Piggy Bank Museum?

January 21, 2008: 温泉タウン戸倉上山田 Onsen Town Togura-Kamiyamada

亀清の近辺にこの建物が工事中です。何になるかと聞いたら、なんと「郵便貯金箱会館」だそうです。地元の西沢薬局さんが全国で二番目に多い貯金箱の集まりがあって、そして展示する為に態々この建物を建てています。ちょうど上山田温泉の中央公園の桜が咲く頃に完成の見込みだそうです。花見のついでに貯金箱をどうぞ、ご覧になってください。
Nearby Kamesei Ryokan, this building is being constructed. I found out it will be the 'Postal Savings Box Hall'. In other words, a museum for piggy banks. Mr. Nishizawa, a local pharmacist, has individually compiled the 2nd largest collection of piggy banks in the country. So this hall will display his collection. It is expected to be finished just in time for cherry blossom season, so come enjoy 'hanami' at Chuo Park behind our inn, and check out the piggy banks, too!
