新緑が本当にきれいな今日この頃、久々に裏山の再度山に登って途中にある灯篭茶屋でラーメン（中々ないあっさり醤油で美味）、卵焼き（ネギ入り）、ビールを頂いて帰ってきた。
以前にも書いたがこの辺りの登山道にはいい具合に茶屋と呼ばれる休憩所がいくつもあり、お茶、ジュース、ビール、そして食事がいただける。
頂上まで行く気がないけれどもなんか山に入りたい、そんな軟弱な心に丁度いい口実、そして目的になる。
写真はそこへ至る道沿いに建つ木造住宅。
失礼ながら、本当に失礼ながら、「セコム、してますか？」というあの掛け声に一言付け加えて、セコム、「本当に」してますか？・・・といつも聞きたくなってしまう愛らしい佇まい。
長屋形式のこの住宅の並びには同じ外観で建具だけがアルミサッシのものが並ぶのだが、やっぱり木製の建具は何とも風合いがいい。くたびれた感じもすごくいい。玄関の格子戸もすごくいい。
元町駅から灯篭茶屋へは歩いて約30分、このおうちが見えたらもうあと少しである。
灯篭茶屋の裏にはピザのいただけるおしゃれなカフェがあるので、そちらも一度行ってみようと思う。

Nowadays, the season of fresh green, we climbed the Mt. Futatabi the mountain behind our house and had Chinese noodle, omelet and beer in the teahouse “To-ro chaya”.
As we wrote before, there are nice local teahouses along the trail in the mountain around here where you can have tea, juice, beer and foods.
These teahouses can be a good reason to climb who has not enough courage to climb to the top of it.
This house in the picture is a house along the trail to To-ro chaya.
There was a TV advertisement which goes as “Are you securing your home with our system?”.
the trade mark of its system is a red sticker you can see in the picture, but for this house, I really would like to ask the resident with adding one phrase, “Are you “”really”” securing your house with the system?”…
The house is terrace house and there are other houses next to it with aluminum sash, but this one with wooden sash is really lovely.
It is only 30 minutes to To-ro chaya from Motomachi station, it is just right there if you find this house.
There is a cafe where you can have pizza, pasta and grilled dishes just behind To-ro chaya, we’ll visit there one day and will report to you soon!
