My home-town My home-town is Osaka, Japan. It is in the middle of Japan and is the second largest city. The center of the city is dense with businesses and the subway is always crowded. However, out of the city, we can see nature. The most famous tourist spot is Osaka castle which is surrounded by cherry blossom trees. It was built in the year 1580. I also suggest a visit to another unique spot called the Minoh waterfall, which has beautiful views of the mountain. In urban areas, there are big buildings, such as the 300m- tall Abeno Harucas skyscraper. We have four seasons. Spring and fall are the best times to travel and be active in Osaka. However, summer is too hot, and the temperature is over 100F. Winter is too cold and sometimes it snows, so tourists would not enjoy themselves. My favorite famous foods in Osaka are Okonomiyaki, which has meat and vegetables baked together and Takoyaki, which is made of octopus and egg. My neighborhood is quiet and safe. It is in the northern part of Osaka. We enjoy seeing rice terraces and vegetable gardens. We can also enjoy walking in the park and playing with children. It is a nice place to live and raise children. My neighbors are very kind and friendly. I miss my family and friends. I sometimes remember spending time with them in Osaka. We used to walk around the park and enjoy lunch. It was a very fun time. I would like to see them again.
