    Relaxing tour to Kami-kouchi in Nagano prefecture

    During Golden Week in Japan, my husband and I went to Kami-kochi in Nagano prefecture to have a relaxing time watching the beautiful nature.
    http://www.kamikochi.or.jp/english/

    Kami-kochi is a nationally designated special natural monument because of its beautiful scenery and high academic value. An abundancy of wild animals and insects is an example of this. In order to prevent the valuable area from pollution, we had to park our car away from Kami-kochi and ride a public bus to get there. (Don't make your sentences too long. The phrase 'such as' is reserved for shorter setences, such as this example) 

    (English sentence ordering is sometimes opposite from Japanese, you'll get used to it overtime).

    We got off the bus around 6am and started walking along a river where unbelievably transparent and pure water was flowing. It was a perfectly fine and sunny day, and the high mountains around there looked magnificent. It was so difficult to capture the huge scenery in the small picture's frame by one shot, so  I took a hundred of pictures instead. (Objects can have possessives too using apostrophes --> ').  

    On the way into the depths of the mountain, we encountered wild ducks and even monkeys! It was the very first time I've seen monkeys outside cages or fences! We had lunch at a camping lodge, took a nap on the grass and went back to a hotel around 3pm. We were physically exhausted but felt so happy to be there! The place is now my absolute favorite for spending my relaxation time. (don't repeat nouns like 'place' twice in the same sentence. The second time is implied just like in Japanese 僕の本がとても難しい、コメディーの。。。

     

    Sounds like you had a great time! I'm so glad to hear. Can't wait to speak with you again soon!

    Golden Week in Japan

    From the end of April to early May, Japanese people have a long holiday called Golden Week. Many companies close their offices so that people may go out to travel, shop and so on. Since most of the companies and schools start from April in Japan, it's great timing. This is especially true for newcomers taking days off after getting settled into their new environment.

    Golden Week includes these national holidays: 

    April 29 - Showa Day(昭和の日 しょうわのひ)
    It honors the birthday of the Showa emperor (the former emperor).

    May 3 - Constitution Memorial Day (憲法記念日 けんぽうきねんび)
    A holiday to commemorate the constitution of Japan, first implemented in 1947, after World War II.

    May 4 - Greenery Day(みどりの日)
    A holiday to appreciate the blessings of Nature.

    May 5 - Children's Day(こどもの日)
    A holiday to respect children's personalities, and to celebrate their ongoing happiness.
    We have several traditional customs on the day, for example, hanging carp streamers on balconies.

    May 6 - A made up holiday(振替休日 ふりかえきゅうじつ)
    I think this is just to add a holiday between Children's day and the following Saturday in order to let people take longer holidays. The Japanese government is so kind, isn't it?

    During Golden Week, I'm going to stay in a neighbor's prefecture and enjoy the green scenery and their hot spring ;-)
