(or Yuhara-town Outdoor Hot Spring Bath's Day)

A play on words:
First, in Japanese, "2 = ni," "2 things = futatsu," "6 = roku," "6 things = muttsu" and "· = ten."
So —
"June 26th" → "6·26" → "roku-ten-futatsu-roku" → "ro(ku)-ten-fu(tatsu)-ro(ku)" → "ro-ten-fu-ro" → "rotemburo."
The last letter "H" comes from "Hi" or "Day."
"4" is the call area number to which Yuhara-town belongs.		   June 1 - 30, 2009 non-JARL
