「また夏に会いましょう」あの日への約束｜郡上八幡が澄む理由｜岐阜

To Gujo Hachiman in winter. A season of few sounds. As the bustle of people quietly fades away, I can truly feel the warmth in this town. Putting my hands into freezing water—the cold-water treatment. There, I heard just one phrase. ‘It’s my job, after all.’ Not for efficiency or comfort, but something found within a way of life that has simply continued. And then, suddenly, it began to flow: the rhythm of the Gujo Odori. Before I knew it, boundaries had vanished, and everyone was part of the circle. Not rejecting, but accepting; flowing, yet never being swept away. That scene was like the clear waters of the Nagara River. In this place known as Gujo Hachiman, I feel as though I have touched the spirit of Hachiman-machi. I would be delighted if you could feel the “grace” of this town. *I’ve added some timestamps. The path leading up to Gujo Hachiman Castle is also part of the journey.
