Wooden serpents twist
Through emerald dreams, chasing
The coastal skyline.
木の蛇曲がる
エメラルドの夢
海岸の空へ。

Lanterns softly glow,
Steam whispers past ancient stones—
Night bath`s gentle warmth.
提灯優しく灯る、
蒸気が古い石を通り過ぎる—
夜の入浴は穏やかな暖かさ。

Crimson whispers sigh,
Fern-cloaked arches lull to sleep
Whispering past dreams.
紅いささやき
シダが眠りを誘う

Torii in sunset,
Golden sea and sacred sky,
Whispers of fire glow.
鳥居夕日に、
金色の海と聖なる空、
炎の囁き。

Windows hold secrets,
Blossoms weave purple and pink,
Masked in tradition.
窓は秘密を隠し、
紫とピンクの花が織りなす、
伝統を仮面に。

Autumn hues cascade,
Whispering steam paints the air—

Pink petals whisper,
On hill`s green embrace, sky`s blue—
Nature`s spring canvas.

Nature`s warm embrace.
