朝ぼらけ　有明の月と　見るまでに

吉野の里に　降れる白雪

When the day breaks slowly, the moon of dawn still remains in the sky. 

And snow that like a light of the moon is pouring is also falling. 

The white snow which falls calmly has piled up on the village of Yoshino.

山川に　風のかけたる　しがらみは

流れもあへぬ　紅葉なりけり

There is a beautiful red fence which crosses the river in the mountain. 

Did the fairy of the wind make the fence? 

As a matter of fact, it was the autumnal leaves which have stopped without flowing.

Where is the place of the hotel in that cloud?
