What Is a Gerund? Not just "ing"

おはようございます！Atsushiです。
今日は、北海道でも、大阪でもなく、岡山にいます。
ボランティアがあったので、岡山に来ました。

今日の岡山の天気は今、雨です。
気温は、26℃です。

さて、今日は岡山にいるので、少し岡山について話します。

岡山は"晴れの国(はれのくに)"とよばれています。
なぜかというと、岡山は、1年間にふる雨の量がとても少ないからです。基本的には晴れの日が多い岡山ですが、今日は残念ながら、雨です。

昨日、倉敷、という場所に行きました。岡山県の中にあります。岡山市のとなりが倉敷市です。そこに、倉敷美観地区というものがあります。そこに行ってきました。

倉敷美観地区は1642年に幕府直轄地"天領"となりました。
その時の政府が直接管理した、ということですね。
ここに流れる倉敷川は当時運河として利用されていて、商売が栄えた場所でした。

そして、その街並みは戦前までの建物が今も9割残っているそうです。おそらく建て替えなどはあったと思いますが、90%ほどが昔のままのもの、というのは、とてもおもしろいですね。

日本には、京都をはじめ、いろんな場所で昔からの街並みを残している場所があります。

東京のような大都市に行くのもいいですが、このような歴史的な場所に行くのも良いと思います。

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
