親愛的朋友們，在之前的文章中，Teresa帶大家來到弘前公園，介紹了「櫻花八美圖」中的櫻花絨毯、花筏及櫻吹雪。在弘前公園，除了賞櫻之外，很值得看的是被日本政府列為文化財產的天守閣古蹟。
I have introduced the flower velvet blanket and flower snowflakes in my last posts. Today, I will show you the Hirosaki Castle which is listed as cultural heritage by the Japanese government.
弘前城又稱鷹岡城、高岡城，1873年日本政府頒發了廢城令，弘前城的本丸御殿、武藝所等建築都被拆除，且於1895年改成弘前公園，開放讓市民參觀，經過多年來悉心種植櫻花，現在更成了著名的賞櫻勝地。
目前弘前城的護城河、石牆、土壘等城郭仍保持廢城時的原型，建築部分天守、櫓、門、石垣等也都是珍貴的史跡。
In 1873, the Japanese government issued an order to scrap the castle and changed the castle into a park for the public to visit in 1895. After years of cultivation of cherry blossoms, it has become a popular sakura blossoms scenery. 
At present, Hirosaki Castle’s moat, stone walls, and soil walls still keep the prototype of the castle. The building parts are also precious historical sites.

弘前天守是日本現存12座天守之一，是層塔型3重3層的天守，是現存的三重天守中高度最低的天守。從照片中可以看出，天守閣的建築型式是由下而上逐漸縮小的塔型，雖不華麗但自有一種莊嚴的韻味。
Hirosaki Castle is one of the twelve existing castles in Japan.
From the photos, we can see that the architectural style of the Hirosaki Castle is gradually shrinking from the bottom to the top like a tower.
這張照片是在弘前城的宣傳背板前拍攝的，似白雪般的櫻花把天守閣襯托得非常古典優雅。
當初拍攝時只為好玩，沒想到拍出來效果還挺不錯的，如果不說破，不知道大家看不看得出來後面只是印刷背板呢？好像右上角的影子露了餡兒了，哈哈！
I took the photo in front of the Hirosaki castle’s propaganda backplane. The original photo is just for fun. I don’t expect the effect is quite good. Can you recognize the printing background if I don’t tell you?
我們去的當天，晴空萬里，櫻花在陽光下顯得格外鮮豔嬌嫩。
清朗的藍天成了襯托漫天櫻花的最佳背景，彷彿呼吸都混合了清新空氣與清甜花香。
The clear blue sky is the best background for cherry blossoms as if breathing a mixture of fresh air and sweet flowers.
我特別愛看茂盛繁花與古城相互輝映的思古情懷，這也讓日本的賞花行程遠勝於其他地區的花團錦簇。
所以不太愛自拍的我也忍不住跟歷史遺跡拍了幾張照片。
從天守閣可以遠眺岩木山。岩木山因為貌似富士山，所以也被稱作津輕富士。
山頂積雪皚皚，以嬌豔櫻花為前景，岩木山猶如清純美女，格外脫俗。
From the Hirosaki Castle, you can overlook the beautiful Mount Iwaki which is also called Mount Fuji of Tsugaru.

目前弘前天守本丸石垣膨脹，加上幾次地震，2008年的“弘前城本丸石垣修復委員會”判定有坍塌的危險，決定進行百年來的大整修。因此從2015年起花了三個月將天守平行移動70m至空地，露出石垣部分進行維修，預計2021年將恢復至原來的位置。
由這次對於石垣整修的過程，對於天守完整移動保存的謹慎態度，可看出日本對於保護歷史遺跡的重視程度。無怪乎日本有這麼多美麗珍貴的古城古廟，無論是學術文化上或是觀光上的貢獻，都是重要的資源。
At present, the Hirosaki Castle has been judged the danger of collapse and decided to carry out a century-old overhaul. Therefore, it took three months to move the castle 70m away in 2015, so that the exposed stone wall can be repaired and is expected to return to its original position in 2021.
We can see the cautious attitude of the Japanese government on the protection of historical sites.
No wonder there are so many beautiful and precious ancient castles and temples in Japan. 
Here is the video of moving the castle.
Do you like the story of Hirosaki Castle? I will show you more beautiful scenery of Hirosaki park later.
