Hello!Joshua♪This is my second typing!

I like baseball very much. And my favorite team is GIANTS! So, my favorite place is Tokyo Dome.(hahaha!) Do you know GIANTS?

When I went to Kyoto last year, I went to Kinkaku-ji Temple. It was very beautiful. I was impressed by it. Have you ever been to there?

What is your favorite place in Japan?

See you♪

Hello Mika!

Thank you for writing again!
Yes, I know the Yomiuri Giants. How many times have you seen them play at the Tokyo Dome?

Yes, I have visited Kinkakuji. I showed a photo of it during my introduction. Do you remember?

I don't have one favorite place in Japan, but my top 3 are: Kamakura, Rebun-to, and Yaeyama Islands.

Hello Yuta Muranaka!

Really? You think Shirakawa-go is the most famous place in Japan? There were many tourists there, including foreigners as well, but I think there are many places in Japan that are more famous. Probably the most famous places in Japan for foreigners are Kyoto and Tokyo. See you next class!
