☆Fascinations of my hometown☆

My hometown Nirasaki is well known for its speciality, peach. In spring, the peach blossoms are out. These look like a pink carpet. And after bearing fruit, farmers wrap fruit with white pack. These look like a white carpet. Both scene are so beautiful! In addition, I can see Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan from my hometown. Contrasting these pink or white with blue of mountain show us different flavor. (Image source)

This town is also famous for soccer. The soccer World cup were held, citizens cheered for Japan team together. Because the one of the player commuted the high school in my hometown. There are many monuments relate with soccer in a station, a park, and so on. In New Year holidays, generations enjoy playing soccer.

My favorite place is a "Galactic train" park. "Galactic train", the name of this park, come from Japanese story. In the story, the main character travels by train in galaxy. we can see a similar scene from this park. Because trains run in sides and in-car lights appear prominently at a distance at night. We can see not only trains but also stars and town light. This park is a minor sightseeing spot.

There are not many kinds of transportation and shops. It is little inconvenient. But instead, we feel rich nature. If you come to my hometown, I recommend you to enjoy seeing the scene from many places.

Your home town looks very beautiful. I would like to visit there! It must have been cool to have the World Cup so close to you, soccer is very fun to play and watch. I could understand what you wrote very well, although it may sound better if you use was instead of were, when taling about the World Cup. Is "Galactic train" park a theme park, or a regular park? Either way it sounds like a nice place to see.

To Joseph
Thank you for advise.
I can't play soccer but I like watching games.
"Galactic train park" is a small regular park. There is an observatory. In Autumn, We can see colored leaves during daytime.
