会津藩の参勤交代の駅場として一度は栄えながら、行列や流通のルートが時代とともに変わり「半農半宿」へ、そして純農村へと移っていった大内宿。寄棟の茅葺屋根が並ぶ景色が近代まで残ったことから、保存が叫ばれすっかり観光地となった。
茅葺屋根にこんもりと雪が積もる冬。静けさも相まって、一層かつての様相を思わせる。
■"Ouchi-juku" was once an important lodging town in Aizu.But with the times, it became a rural village.
It became a modern age, such as making a roof and a village of a thief, attracted attention due to its old-fashioned landscape, and now it is a sightseeing spot.
In winter, snow folls and piles up softly on the roof.
Together with tranquility, it reminds us of the former village.
