素敵な晴天に相応しい散歩をと思い立って、嬬恋を歩いた。吾妻線の万座鹿沢口から北軽井沢のプリンスランドまで、約8km・2時間の行程だ。
陽射しは将に春、畑を包む空気は柔らかく、遠くの山々には雪が美しい。目前には真っ白い浅間山を、そして振り向くと白根の山々を望む何とも贅沢な景観は、通り過ぎるだけでは勿体なくて、この地域に移り住めばいつもこうして眺めていられるなあなどと考える。途中、上野原で五十鈴というお蕎麦屋さんに入った。さすが嬬恋というべきか、野菜がうまいし、天ぷら油の質も良く、納得の昼食が出来た。
Invited by the brilliant weather, I had a walk in Tsumagoi. It took 2 hours for about 8 kilometers from Manza-Kazawaguchi train station to Prince Land in North Karuizawa. The road is named Japan Romantische straße. The spring sun was higher in the sky to warm the ground, and the air around the farms was soft and comfortable. What a gorgeous view of mountains in distance wearing the white! Having Mt. Asama in front and Mt. Shirane in the back, this beautiful landscape would be mine, if I move to this neighborhood. I dropped in at Isuzu, a buckwheat noodle restaurant, in Uenohara for lunch. With great vegetables that you can expect in Tsumagoi area and excellent quality oil for tempura, the noodle lunch was quite enjoyable.
