On vacation, I travel with my parents to Japan. I believe that Japan is a beautiful country where you can have a great rest and gain strength. My mother and I always visit hot springs, oh, there's a horror of how hot it is! With dad we go to festivals. It is worth mentioning the famous Sakura. When I see her, I feel calm. We go to cafes and restaurants, I even saw the Mount Fujiyama with my own eyes. Ah! I forgot to say! Once we went to the ancient Buddhist temple Enryaku-ji. A fascinating sight! Like Japan itself as a whole.
