Geocache Description:


馬籠宿から、馬籠峠にむかって峠道を登ってくると、途中に水車小屋のある小さい広場があります。
そして、ここに水車塚という石碑が建てられています。

近くの説明板によると、明治37年7月にここで水害があり、ここの家屋の4人が亡くなったそうです。
その供養のための石碑が水車塚で、碑文は島崎藤村によるものだそうです。

キャッシュは、石碑が見える場所に設置しました。

ーーー

There is the small open space with the watermill on the way when you walk from Magome Post town towards Magome Pass.
And the monument called the Suishazuka(mean waterwheel mound) is built here.
According to the explanation board nearby, there was a flood here in July, 1904, and four people of the house here seemed to die.
The monument for the memorial service is a Suishazuka, and an epitaph seems to be a thing by Toson Shimazaki.
I installed the cache in the place where a monument was seen.
