青い空と涼しい風に恵まれて、今日は戸倉上山田旅館青年部の行事で温泉から善光寺までの30ｋｍを歩きました。その一部は私が先頭でした。参加した皆様、ご苦労様でした！又来年、そして特に再来年にも宜しくお願いします。（再来年は私が委員長になります！）
Blessed with blue skies and a cool wind, the other innkeepers and I from the Togura Kamiyamada Onsen Ryokan Assoc. put on our annual 30km walk to Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City today. I got to set the pace for the middle distance. To everyone who participated, Good Job! And we look forward to seeing you next year, and especially in 2010 -- that's when I'm scheduled to be the event chairperson.

The Togura Kamiyamada Onsen Sunday Morning Market started today and runs through October.

戸倉上山田温泉のこの時期の楽しみが今年リニューアル！亀清旅館から歩いて１０分に正村つけばがあり、今年はニューのルークにニューのオーナーです。鮨平の平林さんがお昼と夕方に美味しい川魚料理を提供する。千曲川沿いという最高の雰囲気で川魚をご馳走！
A Chikuma River tradition at this time of year is eating a multi-course river fish meal at a 'tsukeba' river shack. This year, the tsukeba at Togura Kamiyamada Onsen has a new look and a new owner. Hirabayashi-san of sushi restaurant Sushi-Hei fame will be serving up delicious river fish cuisine along the banks of the Chikuma River.

牛に引かれて善光寺参りの宣伝の為に我々若旦那達が先日にこの旗を温泉本通りにはりました。今年の３０km歩きが５月６日に行います。私が先頭で全歩予定なのでご一緒にどうぞ！詳しくは

The other day, the other innkeepers and I put up these green flags in preparation for the 'Ushi ni hikarete Zenkoji' walk. There's a legend of a bull catching a lady's laundry in his horns and her following the bull all the way to Zenkoji Temple. In honor of the legend, our town puts on an annual 30km walk from here (Togura Kamiyamada Onsen) to Zenkoji in Nagano City. If you would like, please join us -- I'm scheduled to be leading the way for the whole walk. Details as per above link.
