盛夏を迎え、暑い日が続いています。
昼間は蝉の声が響き渡り、夕方になるとヒグラシが鳴き始めます。
やがて雷とともに夕立がやってきて、雨が上がるころには、再びヒグラシの澄んだ声が山あいに響き、涼しい風を運んできます。
そんな季節を迎えた黒川温泉に、今年もこの町の市原地区に受け継がれる「市原祇園社獅子舞」がやってきました。
祇園祭は、疫病退散や無病息災を願う夏の伝統行事です。
山河でもスタッフやお客様が獅子に頭を噛んでもらい、一年の健康と無病息災を願いました。
また、黒川温泉では只今夏の納涼イベント「湯涼み」開催中です。
温泉街の路地や橋が提灯のやさしい光に包まれ、昼間とはひと味違う幻想的な雰囲気をお楽しみいただけます。
8月22日までの毎週土曜日は、温泉街で手持ち花火が楽しめたり、キッチンカーを巡ったりと、夏の夜ならではのひとときをお過ごしいただけます。
最終日の8月22日(土)には、夏を締めくくる納涼祭も開催予定です。
期間中の土曜日は夜間の温泉街への送迎も行っておりますので、ご宿泊のお客様はお気軽にお申し付けください。

Midsummer has arrived, and the days are growing hot.
During the day, the chorus of cicadas fills the air.
As evening approaches, the gentle song of the Higurashi (evening cicadas) begins.
Then, with thunder, a refreshing summer shower passes through the valley.
When the rain stops, the Higurashi sing once again, and a cool breeze drifts through the mountains.
At this time of year, Kurokawa Onsen welcomes the Ichihara Gion Shishimai(Lion Dance), a tradition that has been passed down in the Ichihara district for generations.
The Gion Festival is a traditional summer event held to pray for protection from illness and for good health.
At Ryokan Sanga, our staff and guests welcomed the lion dance and received its symbolic "bite" on the head—a long-standing custom believed to bring good health and good fortune for the coming year.
Kurokawa Onsen is also currently hosting its annual summer evening event, “Yusuzumi”.
The streets and bridges of the hot spring town are softly illuminated by traditional lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere quite different from the daytime.
Every Saturday until August 22, visitors can enjoy handheld fireworks, food trucks, and a relaxing summer evening stroll through the town.
The season will conclude with the Summer Festival on Saturday, August 22.
During the event period, we also provide an evening shuttle service between Ryokan Sanga and the hot spring town every Saturday.
Guests are welcome to ask our staff if they would like to use this service.
We hope to welcome you to experience the peaceful summer evenings of Kurokawa Onsen.
