Yamagata – Fukushima
Yamagata Trip
山形県には何度か行っているが中尊寺が世界遺産になってからはまだ行ってなかったので、一度は金色堂が見てみたいということで紅葉の時期と被せて行ってきた。宿泊は大沢温泉の自炊部という老舗旅館。GoToトラベルキャンペーンで3500円が2900円になった。今までゲストハウスで3000円台に泊まったことは何度もあるが、2000円台は初めてだったので、得した気分。翌日は様々な伝承が残る遠野に。ここにはカッパ渕というカッパ伝説が残る川がある。ここへの訪問は１０年ぶり２回目となるが良い意味で何も変わっていなかった。
I've been to Yamagata Prefecture several times, but I haven't been there since Chuson-ji became a World Heritage Site, so I went there once because I wanted to see the Golden Hall, so I covered it with the autumn leaves. Accommodation is a long-established inn called the self-catering department of Osawa Onsen. The GoTo Travel Campaign went from 3500 yen to 2900 yen. I've stayed in the 3000 yen range many times at the guest house, but it was my first time in the 2000 yen range, so I feel like I've gained it. The next day, in Tono, where various folklore remains. There is a river called Kappa Buchi where the legend of Kappa remains. This is my second visit here in 10 years, but in a good way nothing has changed.
Fukushima Trip
山形で１泊してから新幹線で福島へ。有名アニメに出てくる１シーンにそっくりなロケーションが見れる大川荘に宿泊。こちらもGoToキャンペーンで19000円が13000円に。ここは16時～18時までウェルカムサービスとして三味線の音色を聞くことができるのでそれに合わせて到着するように予定を組んだ。館内には老若男女、多国籍な客層が三味線の音色に耳を傾けていた。それほどまでにアニメの影響力があるのだろう。この大川壮の近くに有名な観光地である大内宿があるので翌日向かったが生憎の雨。だが雨宿りのおかげで内装が素敵なカフェに出会えたし、良い感じに靄がかかって幻想的な雰囲気だった。
After staying overnight in Yamagata, take the Shinkansen to Fukushima. We stayed at Okawaso where you can see a location that looks exactly like one scene from a famous anime. This is also a Go To campaign, from 19000 yen to 13000 yen. As a welcome service, you can listen to the shamisen tone from 16:00 to 18:00, so I planned to arrive at that time. Men and women of all ages and multinational customers listened to the sound of the shamisen in the hall. It seems that anime has such an influence. There is a famous tourist spot, Ouchi-juku, near this Okawa So, so I headed for the next day, but it was raining. However, thanks to the rain shelter, I was able to meet a cafe with a nice interior, and the atmosphere was fantastic with a nice mist.
