Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture - Festival at the place where skiing was first introduced to Japan
新潟県上越市の金谷山スキー場は、日本に初めてスキーが紹介された所だと言われています
Kanayayama Ski Resort in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture is said to be the place where skiing was first introduced to Japan.
It was introduced in 1911 by Mr. Lerch, a military man from what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
For this reason, a festival called ”Lerch Festival” is held at this ski resort every year.
On the 4th, the festival began with members of the Self-Defense Forces playing music.
そのあと、昔の人の着物などを着た人たちが、つえを1本だけ使って滑る「一本杖スキー」をみんなに見せました
This is the way to skate that Lerch taught me a long time ago.
An elementary school boy said, ``It was my first time seeing a single cane ski.
小学校の男の子は「初めて一本杖スキーを見ました
It looked like fun,” he said.
