"Mom, what happened to my hat?" Remembering a line from a poem by Saijo Yaso, I headed to Kirizumi Onsen in the summer, the setting of Seiichi Morimura's novel "Proof of the Man." At Yokokawa Station, I thought back to the Usui Pass and the railway to Karuizawa, and visited the Usui Pass Railway Culture Park, the legendary Echigoya Shokudo, Japan's oldest ekiben shop, "Toge no Kamameshi," and had lunch at Lake Usui, before heading to the hidden Kirizumi Onsen Kinyukan.
