My home town is Joetsu city in Niigata prefecture. It lies the middle of Japan and faces the sea of Japan. I will tell you about the special products and nature and the occurrence in Niigata. I love my hometown very much!! So, I introduce how special place it is.The special products of Niigata prefecture are rice.There are a lot of vast rice field there. "Koshihikari" is a famous brand-name rice in Japan. Sake and rice crackers are also known to people as the special products because they are made from rice.
We have heavy snow in Joetsu city every winter. The ground used to be covered with snow as much as three meters!! But thanks to snow, we can go skiing and snowboarding whenever we want. And there are beautiful sea near my house. I used to go swimming there in summer. When I return my hometown, I often go there with my friends. Here is my most favorite place in my hometown.
I had a very very sad occurrence three years ago. Niigata prefecture was hit by a strong earthquake of about magnitude seven. Nagaoka city that is the middle of Niigata was caused extensive damage. There were the heavy earthquake last year again. People in my hometown are frightened when the heavy earthquake happens again.There are a lot of special places in my hometown. We have beautiful mountains, seas, rivers, fields etc. My hometown is a little countryside, but I love there because the place makes me calm down. If you come to Joetsu city, you can eat very delicious rice drinking sake!!

Your hometown looks beautiful. We get a lot of snow in my hometown too. We've never had an earthquake though, it must be very scary.
The waterfall is very beautiful and it must be very nice to live near the sea. The Atlantic Ocean is about two hours away from my house by car. My family and I go swimming there in the summer.
Great English! Your last paragraph was missing a few 'it's and 'a's, but otherwise it was very well written.
^_^ I am trying to use emoticons, but I'm not quite sure how to do them. I hope this one is alright.
Thank you for praising my English!! I am very glad that. I want to speak and write English more well.
I'm sorry to hear that it is far from your house to the sea. Yamanashi is also about two hours away from the sea. So I am unhappy about it.
Your emotions are very cute!! Japanese emotions are different from what Americans always use. In Japan we use () first, and choice the sigh such as ^▽^ or ^u^. Please tell me how to write American emotions!!
