Answer

去日本的话，最好秋天去。
In this sentence，“的话”means "if"
听妈妈的话
And in this one ,it means "what mum said"
In Mandarin ,we seldom use 话 as 說，but we say “话说”as "by the way"
In Cantonese,you can say "话" as “說”
for example,妈咪话唔好出街。 It means "Mum said ......"

Answer

一、日本へ行ったら、一番良いのは秋に行くことです。（如果 + 主語 + 述語 + 目的語 + 的话）

二、听妈妈的话，【话】= 言うこと = 話（名詞）
