Hello! I am Mayumi, and I'm from Japan.
Now, I am learning English in the United States after I graduated my university in my country. My major was Japanese Religion because I like to visit historic spots like temples and shrines and to read classical literature.
I have two sisters. They are married and have babies, they are so cute! Because I have been here, I have not seen the baby who was born after I left Japan. I am missing them. This is the boy who was born before I came here.

Horyuji, Goju no Tou (Five-Level Pagoda in Horyuji-Temple)This is in Nara and is the oldest Pagoda in Japan. |
My hobby is traveling, and the best place to me is Nara, which is one of the oldest cities in Japan, the city has a lot of beautiful historic spots and scenes. The place I have visited the most is Horyu-ji Temple. It is very quiet and sacred there as if time has stopped forever. I like to visit there and spend all day thinking.
There are so many place to visit in my country, not only historic spots but also museums. I like to go to museums to see sculptures and pictures, and I study them and think about the people who made them and the people who lived during that time.
In addition, I like to go to the sea, not only to swim, but also just to see. I have seen a number of scenes beside the ocean and swum in some of them. All of them have beautiful scenes, but the most impressive seas I have ever seen are in Okinawa and in Hawaii. In Okinawa, Japan, there is a great deal of beautiful colored fish and coral reefs, and in Hawaii, the sea water is clear and the color of the ocean is incredibly beautiful.

Matsumoto-JoThis is one of the oldest castles in Japan. |
And when I visited Hawaii, I found how important it is for me to be able to communicate in English. Then, I decided to study English.
In the future, I would like to have a job dealing with Japanese culture.
In Japan, we have so many beautiful scenes all over the country, and I especially like Temples. In my page, I am introducing a Pagoda in a temple because it is representing the excellence of Japanese Architecture and techniques of the people who built it.
