Do you know about Yamanashi (?_?)

My hometown Yamanashi has three famous things: a yield of grapes and peaches, Takeda Shingen, and Mt. Fuji.

Before starting introduction about the famous things of Yamanashi, I will tell you a simple outline of Japan and Yamanashi. In Japan, there are 47 the administrative divisions with one hundred and thirty million people. My hometown Yamanashi is a prefecture attached to Tokyo, the capital of Japan, on the east. There are about nine million people in my prefecture.

Now I am going to tell you about my hometown's well-known things. The first one is a yield of grapes and peaches. An amount of grapes make up twenty five percent and of peaches make up thirty five percent of Japanese shipping. A climate of Yamanashi is suitable for the cultivation of them so there are many farming families in my prefecture. My neighborhood also grows grapes and peaches, and she gives some of them to my family after harvesting.

The second one is Takeda Shingen. He is a feudal lord in Sengoku period in Yamanashi and everybody knows his name in my prefecture. His slogan "WIND-WOOD-FIRE-MOUNTAIN (Fu- Rin- Ka- Zan) " is still famous in Yamanashi. It means that soldiers act at the speed like wind, move quietly like wood, invade the enemies like fire, and keep still like mountain. If you like it, please popularize his slogan around you.

The third one is Mt. Fuji. As you know, Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. The height is 3,776 meters and many climbers visit the top of it. Mt. Fuji is sandwiched between Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefecture so I can see it everyday. At the beginning of the New Year, I see the first sunrise of the year coming behind Mt. Fuji. What we call "Diamond Fuji." How nice it is! I feel refreshing and get energy.

I told you three famous things of Yamanashi: a yield of grapes and peaches, Takeda Shingen, and Mt. Fuji. Please remember about them.
