Let's view Japan in detail

   Do you like traveling? Have you ever been to Japan? I ask those who have been to Japan, which city do you like best?

  There are many beautiful sightseeing spots in Japan. For  example, Hokkaido, Kyoto, Nara, Okinawa, and so on.

  I like Hokkaido best. I went to Hokkaido with my family when I was a child. "Hokkaido is very big." It was my first impression. I want to talk about Hokkaido because I like Hokkaido.

  When we talk about Hokkaido, we mustn't forget the Ainu. The Ainu people are the indigenous people of Japan. They have their unique culture. Most of them live in Hokkaido. Especially Bear Festival is very famous in Hokkaido. I talk about Bear Festival next time. Please look at the pictures related to the Ainu.

the culture of the Ainu

  Kyoto and Nara are great, too! Kyoto and Nara are often visited by the students of school trips. School trips are mainly held in autumn. People can see fall leaves. It's very beautiful! It's worth seeing fall leaves in Kyoto and Nara.

  If you know famous sightseeing spot in your country, please tell me that spot.

  I wait for your reply.

                                                                                                                                   To be continued next time.

The climate of Japan

  Hello. Are you fine? We start to research Japan from this time.

  Japan is very small, is an island country―We knew about it last time. Do you anything about Japan except this?

  First of all, Japan has four seasons. The seasons of Japan are obvious. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

  Spring comes, the weather begins to be warm. The animals that were slept under the ground begin to move, the plants grow up. If it is warm, you are very happy, aren't you? The feeling of people are also positive. It is very glad, isn't it?

  April and May are very warm and comfortable. After that, the rainy season somes in Japan. It is bit cold, the rain falls on and off. It is bit uncomfortable.

  Spring ends, summer comes. Summer is very hot and humid in Japan. I imagine the students like summer verymuch, Because there is a long vacation. I ask the students, what do you want to do during a long summer vacation? Do you enjoy marine sports, or go to travel with your family or friends, or come back to your country?When you enjoy marine sports, please be careful.

  After summer, autumn comes. Autumn is very short in Japan these days. September and October are still hot. November comes, it begins to be cool. The leaves start to change color. It's very beautiful! If you visit Japan in autumn, please visit Kyoto and Nara. It's very good scenery!

  At last, winter comes. Winter is cold in Japan. Some kinds of animal begin to sleep in winter. We have Christmas in December. After Christmas, people begin to prepare welcome new year.

  I told you the seasons of Japan this time. How about your country? For example, how about in Australia? I wait for your reply. Thank you! See you again!
