The fruit kingdom

I live Minami Alps City in Yamanashi. My city merged six towns 5 years ago. My city name is Katakana. It's used only my city in Japan. When I was young , there were few shops. But we have two big shopping areas now. Some shops open 24 hours, it's very convenient. When it's good weather, I can look Mt Fuji(the highest mountain in Japan)in my room, but I haven't climbed. So, I want to try it someday. When I went to Lake Yamanaka(it's near Mt Fuji), I took this picture. You can look Mt Fuji in Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefecture. I suggest to look in Yamanashi. Because it's more beautiful than Shizuoka. Fruit is famous in my town. I can eat many fruits such as cherries, peaches, plums, grapes, for nothing. I don't need buy them, because my neighbor gives me. Fruit is very delicious. I took this picture near my home. There are cherry fields in front of my home. When I was elementary school student, I ate cherries in cherry fields on the my way home. My favorite place is 'Loop Bridge'. It is famous for its beautiful night view in my town. You can also look a lot of stars. If you visit my hometown, don't forget to eat fruit and go to Loop Bridge.

Hello Miki,
I enjoyed reading your blog post, and I love the picture of Fuji-san! Thank you. It is my new computer background. ^_^ Your town sounds very interesting; being able to eat fruit for free sounds like the best idea! I like to eat healthy foods. Your English is very good, and near perfect sentences. One small thing I noticed though: you wrote, "Fruit is famous in my town", but in English, it could be said, "My town is famous for fruits." The blog was very easy to understand. Well done. I hope to see some more beautiful pictures in the next post! Thank you! ^o^

Thank you for correcting my English. I was happy, because you said, the picture of Fuji-san is your computer background. I think Aka-Fuji is also beautiful.Aka-Fuji means Fuji-san at sunset. It's red of Fuji-san. So, we call Aka-Fuji. But I don't have this picture. If I take Aka-Fuji's picture, I'll send you!
