A day trip to Awaji Island! Locals often come here to refresh themselves. The delicious food and nature are soothing. There are hardly any foreigners there, so I think people who love Japan will love it. When I go abroad, I want to experience the unique things about that country, the food, the scenery that can only be found in that country, and interact with the people, and make it a memory to cherish. I hope that everyone who has come all the way from overseas will enjoy Japan to the fullest before returning home.
