千帆起航

                                                                                             松尾芭焦紀念碑

                                                                                     步上俳句詩人的後塵一覽奧之細道                千帆

                                                              日本是國人最愛的旅遊國家，乾淨、漂亮、百姓和氣有禮、治安超級

                                                              棒，是個社會 高度文明的現代化國家。退休前每年最少要到日本出差

                                                              一次，怎樣也不覺得無味。

                                                               奧之細道是日本著名俳句詩人松尾芭蕉的旅遊文學作品，記錄了這條

                                                               旅遊路線的優美景觀，主要景點有宮島、五木堂、中尊寺、角館、奧

                                                               之瀨溪、十合田湖等， 其中住宿的溫泉旅館也颇富古意，整個行程

                                                                有了詩人加持，走起來也特別感到充滿了詩情畫意。

                                                                                       奧之瀨溪

                                                                                         五木堂-  --老式建築，美啊！    

                                                                          宮島的美，美在娟秀，清澈的海水折射著陽光，清風徐來，讓

                                                                          人心胸頓時開朗。坐在船上欣賞四周的景致，岸邊的松樹和建

                                                                             築，海上的奇石和追逐遊客的海鳥，旅遊就是如此的放鬆心

                                                                           情，可以靜靜的享受大自然的賜予，忙碌的人怎可能有這

                                                                             種悠閒從容的心境？吹著海風，神清氣爽。看到同船遊伴爭

                                                                             相餵食海鳥，這幕人與鳥的互動畫面又替日本三景之一的宮

                                                                            島增添不少人文風采。

                                                                            角館的武夫敷屋，是以前將軍的宅第，屋前、庭院都有巨大

                                                                           的老樹，木製的日式 老建築就像我們看日本江戶劇一般的古

                                                                          意盎然，庭園風光已略顯斑駁，現都改變為咖啡屋或販售當地

                                                                          特產醬菜的店家，精心布置的門面和可口甘美的醬菜吸引了

                                                                         遊客的購買慾，日本商人做生意就是一個〝誠〞字，各式醬菜

                                                                       不斷的讓你試吃，滿意了再買，即便你吃了一堆沒買，他們還是

                                                                        笑盈盈的直道〝阿里嘎多〞，看不到半點不悅，這就是成功的

                                                                        本質。

                                                                          角館將軍宅第改造的醬菜屋

                                                                             中尊寺是名剎，寺院內的垂櫻正繽紛綻放，看這場寺與花的

                                                                                千年對話真不虛此行！

                                                                                 這古寺與名櫻的傳唱，仍然會藉著古詩人的遊記繼續吸引

                                                                                  更多的遊客來此朝聖。

                                                                                中尊寺內的垂櫻與僧侶

                                                                                      中尊寺

                                                                        十和田湖、奧之瀨溪不同的風景，一樣的迷人，十和田湖裡一

                                                                         群群的白天鵝、黑天鵝嬉 戲其間，湖光鵝影，生動有趣，整個

                                                                         湖大到不見對岸，霧一來，湖色更美了。搭小舟遊奧之瀨溪，

                                                                         溪邊兩岸峻岩聳立，竹林密佈，隨著潺潺溪流，坐在舟邊欣賞

                                                                          自然美景，映入眼簾的影像是忘不了的。

                                                                           山中溫泉洗滌了白天的疲憊，日本人的泡湯文化甚是高雅，安

                                                                           靜、乾淨的大湯屋就像沒人一樣不見喧嘩，入湯池前的個人清

                                                                           潔也非常徹底，讓人不禁想起有待改善的台灣泡湯環境！我選

                                                                          了戶外的湯池，天空正下著雪，當雪片灑落在我的肩膀上，被

                                                                          溫泉泡得溫熱的體溫瞬間就溶掉了雪花，溫泉的熱氣上升，在

                                                                           池邊的五彩燈飾照射下，湯池變成了彩色的水晶宮，我注視著

                                                                           嬝嬝上升的輕煙和徐徐落下的雪花，忘了今夜身處異鄉。
