"Pass in Shinshu" Series #4
Is this pass the most famous in the pass in a certain meaning Nagano Prefecture?
It is a pass that became the place of novel and movie "Ah! Nomugi Toge(Nomugi Pass)".
It was silk reeler industry that had supported from Maiji period to the beginning of the Showa peiod, about the export of Japan.
Okaya and the Suwa area where I had been born and grow up were one large silk reeler industrial cities before. The historic site when the silk reeler industry is active variously remains it is.
My grandmother seemed also to have worked at the silk factory in old times.
Girls chiefly in her teens had exceeded this pass aiming at such Okaya from the recesses of Hida (Northern Gifu area).
There is a material pavilion where those days' appearances etc. are told now.

この峠は、ある意味長野県の峠の中でも最も有名ではないでしょうか？
小説、そして 映画「あゝ 野麦峠」の舞台となった峠です。
明治、大正、昭和初期と、日本の輸出を支えてきたのは製糸産業でした。
私が生まれ育った岡谷、そして諏訪地方も、かつては一大製糸産業都市でした。いまでも、製糸産業が盛んだったころの史跡がいろいろ残っています。
祖母も、昔は製糸工場で働いていたそうです。
飛騨の山奥から、そんな岡谷を目指して、主に１０代の少女たちがこの峠を超えてやってきていました。
今では、その頃の様子などを伝える資料館があります。
キャッシュは、小説の主人公で、ここ野麦峠で亡くなった政井みねさんの慰霊碑へ向かう途中にあります。
キャッシュは 630mlのプラスティックケースです。
Let's enjoy caching!
