近寄れば銀杏たわわ霞城かな 80 When I approached at Kajo, there were ginkgo nuts. [Haiku, Senryu]
山形駅にほど近い場所にあるのが、山形城跡の霞城公園。
ホテルの近くにあったので、朝一番に訪ねてみた。
天守閣などはなく、現在、本丸跡地で復元のための発掘調査などが行われていた。
そのため、中心部では立ち入り出来ないエリアが多い。
それでも、二ノ丸東大手門などは復元済みなので、お城気分を味わうことが出来た。
少し驚いたのが、もう銀杏の木に実がなっていたことだ。横浜に住む自分としては、いち早く秋を感じることが出来て得した気分だった。
Located near Yamagata Station is Kajo Park, the ruins of Yamagata Castle.
Since it was near my hotel, I visited there first thing in the morning.
There was no castle tower, and excavations for its restoration were currently underway at the site of the castle's main citadel.
Therefore, there are many areas in the center of the city that are inaccessible.
Nevertheless, the Ninomaru East Main Gate has already been restored, so we were able to enjoy the feeling of a castle.
What surprised me a little was that the ginkgo trees were already bearing nuts. As a resident of Yokohama, I felt lucky to be able to feel the autumn season as early as possible.
