国宝 松江城
National treasure, Matsue castle
松江城は 千鳥城とも 呼ばれています。
松江城の 見た目 は 黒 っぽい ので 、 他の 城と 少し ちがいます。
私は その 黒さ が 好きです。
[Translation]
There is the castle named Matsue castle in Matsue city. From the fact that the form of the castle seen from above seems like a plover, the Matsue castle is also called plover castle. Because the appearance of the Matsue castle seems blackish, it’s a bit different from other castles. I like that blackness.
