Coming to Japan

まりも玉 · 15 Jan 2004

Hi I`m Marimo who is a Japanese studying English with this web site.

Today, I would like to ask your advice,

My boyfriend ,who is living in Canada, is coming to Japan in March.
But I have no idea where I should take him either, what I should show him.
I would like to ask you ...
When you first came to Japan, what made you surprised and moved?

I am living in Nara, Kansai area.
I am thinking to take him to Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and somewhere another place in Kanto area.
Do you have any recommend?

He has never been to any Asian countries.

Thanks for helping me.

Nara ga iiwa

Shika ga machi no doman'naka de kawarete'iru ni bikkuri shitawaa.

Osaka ni ittara, Tsuutenkaku nanka iikana? Shin'sekai wa chotto gara warui kedo ne?

Osaka, Nanba no chikaku ni "America Mura" te arunto chau? Chotto homesick ni nattara Eigo ga shabereru toko ni mo tsurete ittara eiwa.

Boku wa jinja ya otera ga sukiyakara Kyoto mo sukiya.

Hoka ni nanka kikitai koto attara renraku shite.

Hi Marimo,

I would definitely focus on traditional Japanese culture, and such places as Kyoto and Nara would be perfect. Take him to a festival if you can too. If you have the time/money, a trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima would be a good idea. Staying overnight at a temple would be a great experience too.

Japanese Guest Houses | Experience the Beauty, Cuisine, and Art of Japan by staying at a Carefully Selected Traditional Japanese Ryokan Inns.

I recommend Mt Koya in Wakayama Prefecture:
A Japanese "onsen" is wonderful and in the Kansai I can recommend Kurama Onsen in Kyoto:
There are also some good onsen in Wakayama:
If you are doing some travelling, Takayama and nearby Shirakawago would be high on my list too. I've spent the day in Shirakawago and spent a night in a Japanese "gassho-zukuri" which was a lot of fun:

Have fun,
Lester

IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS.......

since I've been to Japan, but some things I remember like yesterday. My visit to Kumamoto Castle, a visit to an onsen spa, a visit to a giant sculptured garden, cherry blossoms, a visit to a goldfish farm,and last but not least, touring Nagasaki.

I think to a foreigner, new to Japan, everything was fascinating. I even enjoyed going to slum sections and dirty beaches because I had not seen anything like them !

Being with you and doing things with you will be all he needs !!

He in coming the end of March to for 2 weeks.
I think it depends on the temourature to see the cherry blossoms .
Fortunely it is warmer this year, so i think i can take him to the Osaka castl and make him surpise with blooming cherry blossoms.
thank you,Jsisan - san

ありがとうございました。
彼は、ゲームが好きなので、できたらゲームセンターに連れて行って
、ゲームいっぱいして、プリクラをとりたいです。
好きなもの・・・う～～ん。。・。。。辛いものかな。あと、生ものは
やっぱりダメみたいです。鳥のささみ食べてほしかったんだけどな～～

そっか～カラオケっていうのもあるんですよね★
「目からうろこ」です。
彼は2週間滞在予定です。時間足りるかなぁぁ。
お寺はモチロンの予定ですが、外国の方にとって、
どういうお寺がいいんでしょうか？
「ご利益モノ」か「有名なモノ」とか・・・・

あと、英語は自分で勉強してます。カナダで留学してた時に知りあったんです。

ありがとうございました。

If I were you I would take him to a ticket machine and push the help (call) button, I am sure he would get a pretty good laugh
