My First Adventure

After I unpacked all of my bags in the Comfy Stay Hotel, room number 456, my mom and I decided to take a course in the trails. We were supposed to be in Atsuta Jinja, one of Japan's historical forests, at 7 o'clock pm but were a little late because of traffic on the roads. The Guide, named Stacey, took us and eight other people through the trails. I learned that 65 percent of Japan was mountainous. A forest I remember looking up on the Internet before I came to Japan, was Yahko Jinja Forest. It has lots of Cedar, Cypress, and Oak Tree's inside of it. Stacey stopped at a mountain called Mount Kika-Date. It was 3193 meters tall. My mom and I left after she finished describing the mountain and arrived in our hotel room at 8:30pm. There, we learned from a chef at the hotel's restaurant that the Japanese diet is relative to the lifespan of the Japanese people. Japanese food like fish, rice, and vegetables, is becoming popular in the USA, Australia, and Europe. He was making me hungry just listening to him! After he finished talking we had a snack and went to sleep.
