The proprietress of a ryokan in a village near Mount Ontakesan says she has no intention of leaving after the deadly eruption in September despite a lack of customers, with memories of two departed loved ones firmly rooted in the area.
一名御嶽山附近村莊的旅館老闆娘說，儘管沒有客人上門，但她帶著對埋在當地的2名已故至親的回憶，並不打算在9月份發生致命的火山爆發後離開。
Tsutae Ninomiya, who runs the small, two-story Yokkun Hyutte N in the Ontake Highlands in Otaki, Nagano Prefecture, points at a page in her inn’s guest log devoid of bookings.
在長野縣王瀧村御岳高原經營一家2層樓小旅館Yokkun Hyutte N的二宮傳，指著完全沒有訂房紀錄的旅館預約本的一頁。
"Look," she said. "It’s completely blank, starting from the 27th (of September)," the day of the blast that claimed at least 57 lives.
「你看，」她說。「完全空白，從27日（9月）起，」也就是發生至少奪走57條人命的火山爆發的那一天。
Ninomiya, 69, who lost her husband 10 years ago and their oldest son due to illness when he was in his 20s, operates the inn on her own.
69歲的二宮獨力經營這家旅館，她10年前喪夫，長子則在20幾歲時病故。
Since the eruption, the inn’s future has become uncertain. However, Ninomiya has never given a thought to closing the facility, saying, "There’s no way I could ever leave Otaki."
該旅館的未來在火山爆發後堪慮。儘管如此，二宮從沒想過要歇業，並說︰「我絕對不可能離開王瀧。」
