Speaking of Japanese food, I sometimes eat soba, udon, curry rice, ramen, fried chicken, yakisoba, okonomiyaki, and oyakodon in my home. I cook for my family every day, so I can explain the ingredients and how to make these Japanese foods. Sushi cannot be made at home, so you may eat it in a restaurant when you go out. In addition, sushi is sometimes delivered on the day of celebration.

Oh that’s nice.

So, please tell me your favorite places in Japan.

I like Okinawa and Hakone. First, I will talk about Okinawa. I have been to Okinawa twice. Once on mainland Okinawa and once on Taketomi Island. Taketomi Island is especially impressive.
woman
What is Taketomi Island like?
かなえ
Taketomi Island has no airport or train station and is a small island that must be reached by ferry from Ishigaki Island. Taketomi Island has three main beaches. Kondoi Beach, Kaiji Beach, Aiyaru Beach. You can swim at Kondoi Beach.
woman
What kind of beach is it?
かなえ
Kondoi Beach is a very beautiful sea where you can walk very far, because it does not get very deep when you enter the sea from the sandy beach. The water is warm and wonderful emerald green. Looking at the sea, there are many small fish in a shallow place near the sandy beach. It is a truly paradise-like landscape with few people, probably because transportation is not well developed, with blue sky, emerald green sea and white sandy beaches.
The next beach is Kaiji beach. This is famous for star sand, but you can’t swim. At Kaiji Beach, you can see tourists crouching on the sand and searching hard for star sand. This is also a beautiful beach with beautiful scenery.
Another beach is Aiyaru Beach. This is not particularly recommended because you can’t swim and the scenery isn’t that great.

What a wonderful thing, I would definitely like to visit Okinawa.

Another favorite place is Hakone. Hot springs are famous in Hakone. Hakone is a two-hour drive or two-hour train ride from Tokyo, so you can easily go to Hakone. Hakone also seems to be famous for foreigners, and I often see foreigners there.
woman
What is famous in Hakone?
かなえ
Speaking of Hakone, the first is a hot spring. Hot water with a clear and soft touch abounds. In Hakone, I recommend staying at a hot spring inn. Speaking of a hot spring inn, dinner is kaiseki cuisine.
woman
What is Kaiseki cuisine
かなえ
Kaiseki cuisine is a dish for hospitality. Seasonal ingredients are served little by little on beautiful colorful containers. The amount of one dish is small, and many can be eaten by a bite. However, because of the large number of dishes, it is quite full.It comes with appetizer, soup, sashimi, grilled fish and meat, and then rice, pickles and seasonal fruits. Kaiseki cuisine is a wonderful Japanese traditional dish that looks beautiful and offers seasonal ingredients.

I will definitely go to Hakone if I am in Japan.It was very fun to hear a lot of wonderful stories about Japan. Thank you!
