Hiroto's Niigata life

 Hello. I went to Tokamachi last week. It took an hour and a half by car from Niigata City. First, we went to see the famous rice terraces in Tokamachi. However, it was foggy and I couldn't see the scenery. However, it was fun because I had the experience of being in the clouds. Next, we went to the hot spring "Unkai". It is famous for its beautiful scenery from the hot springs. Also, when I went there, there was no one there and it was reserved. My body was warmed and my mind refreshed. I wanted to go again. It was a very fun weekend. Thank you.

 Hello. Last week I went to eat at a ramen restaurant called "Kugimiya". It is located in Higashi Ward, near Niigata Prefectural University. The soy sauce ramen is popular, and when I went there, there were 20 people in line. I waited for an hour before entering the store. The soy sauce ramen was so delicious that I would like to go there again. After eating, I went shopping in Bandai. I bought clothes and watched movies. It's been a while since I went shopping, so I spent a lot of money. I had a really fun weekend.

 Hello, I went to Yahiko. First, I went to Yahiko Shrine and prayed. It was large and well-built, and I was overwhelmed. There were many people visiting the shrine and it was very crowded. The approach was surrounded by large cedar trees, which was rich in nature and refreshed my soul.  Next, I was hungry after visiting the shrine, so I ate konjac at a nearby store. It was cold that day, so eating it warmed my body and it was very delicious. There were other souvenir shops around where I did some shopping. I had a fun weekend and would like to go again.

 Hello. I climbed a mountain for the first time last week. That is Mt. Yahiko. It was also my family's first time climbing. It took about 3 hours to reach the top of the mountain. It was very difficult, but we had fun climbing the mountain and the view at the top was beautiful.  Moreover, There were many animals in the mountains, and I saw them for the first time. Also, the river was clean and there were fish swimming around. It was nice and cool so it was very comfortable when taking a break. My legs hurt halfway, but I made it to the end. I would like to try it again. Thank you.
