My Home Town

I love my home town Awaji island Japan! It is the very wonderful place and there have many beautiful things! First There is the beautiful sea. I would go there after the school with my friend. And we used to talk on the beach. Last summer I took my university friends there and they said "This is beautiful!" It was very pleasurable. Second There are many delicious foods. The island is famous for onion. Also There is shore dinners and vegetables very nice! I like there foods very much. Last the people very kind are friendly. And helpful to each other. Always whenever I need help, people help me. I love my hometown,but I don't think I want to live there in the future, because there are not enough relationships for me. But I think that this is the best place as a hometown for me. Please come to my home town!

My Hometown

I have three favorite things about my hometown of Kobe Japan. First, there is the Akashi channel bridge. This bridge connects Kobe and Awaji island. It started in 1998 when I was 9 years old. Before it was completely built, my mother, my grandmother and I could walk on the bridge. We were lucky women, because we received a postcard and it said you are able to walk on the bridge! We were one of very first people who were able to walk on the bridge! We could walk the whole bridge, but I became tired, so we didn't go all the way Awaji island. The bridge has neon light, so it shines at night. It's very beautiful! There is a small park near the bridge. When I was child, I often go there with my father. I like it there. Second, there are many stores in Sannomiya, a big town in the city of Kobe. I often buy clothes, cosmetics, accessories and so on there. Also, in Sannomiya there are good restaurants. Finally, there is Rokko mountain. The night view from the top of this mountain is very beautiful but it's cold in the winter time, and so cool in the summer time. From the top of mountain Rokko we can see all of Kobe city. Also on the mountain we can do various activities, such as making cheese, making caramel and petting sheep. The mountain looks like the Alps. It is fun!

Interesting Things In My Hometown :-)

I would like to introduce Osaka to you!! I love Osaka, because it is my hometown, and there are many interesting and impressive things that you will always remember. First, there is the interesting word, "maido." It is word that exists only in Osaka. You can hear "maido" at shopping arcades. It means 'Hello.' or 'thank you,' but there is a more profound meaning. When maido is written by Chinese character, it means thanks for coming again and again. So if you hear this word, it will be interesting to you, and you will feel warm. Secondly, there is a wonderful and interesting firework display. It is the PL firework display, and takes place every August first, and shoots off about 120,000 firewoks, but in 2008 it shot off only about 20,000 fireworks. The PL firework display last shot off about 8,000 fireworks at a stretch, which is called "the atmic bumb firework." The number of sightseers is about 300,000 people, and the PL firework display is recognized around the world. Also the awesome sound reverberate through the sky, and fireworks turn the dark sky into light in an instant, and it is interesting and impressive!! Finally, there is a festival that takes place every autumn and represents Japan. It is colled the danjiri festival. It has been taking place since 1703, and it has prided the very long history and tradition for over 300 years. Danjiri has a few drums, bells and flutes. They are very interesting sounds. Also danjiri festival has two ropes that are 100 meters, and about 500 people have it in your hands and run yelling "sorya sorya." This attracts many visitors from all over the world. The danjiri festival takes place for two days. On the first day, it starts at 6:00 a.m.. It is very beautiful and impressive, especially, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00p.m., there are many Japanese lanterns all around the danjiri. On the second day, the danjiri goes in the shrine and the festival ends. The festival is really interesting and moving and will live in your memory!!
