Participation in the guided tour of Maya Mountain and the Maya Ruins. Capacity of 15 people.
It was close to the deadline, but I knew there were still places available, so I signed up.
The Maya Kanko Hotel ruins were included in the course.
I contacted Miss N, who was interested in ruins and had heard that she was particularly interested in the Maya Kanko Hotel. I thought it would be difficult because of her busy work schedule, even during the week, but she replied that it happened to be her day off and that she could make a reservation.
Were there 13 participants on the day?
The person whose face I remember seeing on social networking sites was the guide for the day.
The fact that Kikuseidai used to be an anti-aircraft gun position. The cause of the fire that destroyed Tenjoji Temple was arson. The flower beds have the meaning of a villa. The content of the talks at each site was all very interesting, and although I had walked the mountain path several times, I was able to gain new knowledge.
How many years ago was it that I rode the go-karts at the Oku Maya Mountain Amusement Park?
Probably in the early years of elementary school.
I remember the cityscape of Kobe stretching out beyond the go-kart track.
However, there is nothing pleasant about going out with the four members of my family, my father, mother and sister.
On that day, my father and mother were arguing, and all I could think about was what was going to happen next.
That was the first and last time we went to Oku Maya Mountain Amusement Park. I did not feel like eating hashed rice, which I had for the first time, for many years after that.
My wife liked to cook with brown sauce and made hashed beef for me, but every time I ate it, I remembered Oku Maya Mountain Amusement Park.
What were my father and mother arguing about in front of two small children?
As an adult, I still wish I could ask them why.
摩耶山・マヤ遺跡ガイドウォークに参加した。定員15名。
期日近くだったが、未だ空きがあると知り、応募した。
コースの中に摩耶観光ホテル跡が含まれていた。
廃墟趣味があり、特に摩耶観光ホテルに惹かれていると聞いていたnさんにも連絡した。平日でも仕事が立て込んでいるので難しいだろうと考えていたが、たまたま休みの日、予約も取れたと返事が来た。
当日参加していたのは13名だったか。
SNSでお顔を見た覚えのある方が、当日のガイド。
掬星台が嘗ての高射砲陣地だったこと。天上寺焼失の出火原因が放火であったこと。花壇には別邸の意味があることなど。それぞれの場所で話された内容が、どれも興味深く、何度か歩いた山道ながら、新しい知識を得ることができた。
奥摩耶山上遊園地のゴーカートに乗ったのは何年前のことになるのか。
多分、小学校の低学年。
ゴーカートのコースの向こうに神戸の街並みが広がっていたのを思い出す。
しかし、父母妹の家族四人での外出には、愉しいものはない。
この日も、父と母は言い争っていて、この先、どうなるのかという不安ばかりを感じていた。
奥摩耶山上遊園地に行ったのは、この時が最初で最後。初めて食べたハヤシライスも、その後、何年も食べる気がしなかった。
妻はブラウンソースの料理が好きで、ハッシュドビーフを私に作ってくれたが、食べるたびに、奥摩耶山上遊園のことを思い出した。
父と母は、小さな子供二人の前で、何を言い争っていたのか。
大人として、その理由を聞かせて欲しいと今になっても思う。
