My Favorite Place

I have a favorite place in Okinawa. It’s a water front of Sunabe and is located in Chatan. I lived in near the place until junior high school student. I used there for jogging and swimming with my friends. Then, a lot of people use there for fishing, running and ,sometimes some people enjoy doing scuba diving in front of sea shore. Yes, the place is a busy in the daytime and makes me happy. But the sociable atmosphere turns in evening. The place turns to be romantic mood because many outdoor lamps go on and we can see a beautiful sunset. And, the place and the time heal my heart. I recommend you to go there with your partner. Thank you.

My Favorite Place


There are many my favorite place in Hokkaido because those places are always with my treasure memories. But one of the most favorite places is the high school ground. When I was 3rd year of high school student, we were very tired of preparing for university entrance examination. Seeing sunset playing soccer or talking with my friends was really comfortable time for me. Furthermore, I did not notice before graduated from high school that the sunset I could see there was so beautiful than any other sunset I have saw after. Since the school is on the hill and there are no buildings near the school except for cow sheds, we all felt free and could get close to nature by seeing such a beautiful scene. I have a picture that I took after playing soccer at the ground. This is my favorite picture and it symbolized my happy high school days. I want to go there again with my friends someday.

My favorite place is in my bed. This is because, there are many my favorite things on my bed. First, there is a radio near my pillow. I usually listen to the radio in the night. I like listening to the comedy channel. Sometimes, I cannot fall in sleep because it is too funny. Second, there are some books on my bed. I like reading them in the bed. Third, the bed spread is my favorite, because the picture of bear on it is really cute. Fourth, there is a poster of the picture of my favorite singer on the wall near my bed. For these reasons, I like spending my time in my bed, and it is my favorite place.

My favorite place


  My favorite palaces are beaches. When I feel some stress, or sadness, I go some place near the beach. There, I can relax so much. Sounds of waves, people, and nice winds, everything heals my feelings. I just sit down with little bit distance from beach, and staring waves, people, and sky. Nothing can come up to my head. Best season for that in Okinawa is fall. In that season, beach is not too hot, has not too much people, and has good sun shine and winds. Someday, I want to live the place that I can see the beach by porch. Then I will spend my free time there.

My Favorite Place

I like to go to the beach. Especially I like the beach of the Hamahiga Island which is in Uruma city. It takes 15 minutes from my house to there by the car. Weather permitting, I often go to drive there to get relaxed. I love the contrast of colors between the blue ocean and the blue sky. At the beach, I sit on, and I listen to the sounds of waves. Although just only thing I do, it makes me comfortable. Moreover, I like to go there at night, because of no lights; I can see many stars in the sky. Therefore, the Hamahiga Island beach is my favorite place.

My Favorite Place

My favorite place is a beach in Uruma city which is called Kaichu-doro, because when I look at a calm sea, I have a mild feeling. My house is nearby the sea, so I can look at the sea on my way to the university. I went to a high school stands on a hill. It was a nice view when I went down a hill. I could see the blue ocean and the blue sky every day when I was high school student. I cannot see the ocean leisurely, because I am busy these days. I want to go to the beach and relax some day. I also like to have a barbecue at the beach with my friends, so I want to have a beach party with my friends.

My Favorite Place

My town, Awase has beautiful seashore, and there is my favorite place. When I was child, I often went to there with my father for fishing. I was always just watching my father who was fishing, but it was enjoyable for me. Now, I don’t go there with my father, but I often go there with my friends. And we enjoy chatting in there. There is beautiful not only in daytime but also after dark. I can see so many stars in the sky after dark, and it is a so beautiful starry sky. I can also see some shooting stars in there. So there are really romantic place in the night, I think it is good place for couples.

Today, I will describe about café Taramonto which is my favorite place, and show two attractive features about it. One is its location, the other is its business style. First, I will describe its location. Café Taramonto is located on height where we can look down the Mihama town. And night view from there is so great because we can see the whole town. So I recommend there to have date with your girl friend or boyfriend. Then I will describe other attractive feature about cafe Taramonto. This cafe has an unusual feature about business style. At daytime, it works as a café where we can enjoy delicious lunch. Meanwhile, at nighttime, it changes to bar and we can enjoy drinking. So we can enjoy spending time in there for each style. As I said, café Taramonto is very attractive place.

My Favorite Place

There is a sofa in my room. It is red colored sofa, and it has soft cushion. It has been in my room since when I was a junior high school student. When I was a junior high, I often sit on the sofa and I studied. The sofa is very comfortable for me, so I often slept in it. Recently, I can’t have much time to sit on it because I’m busy. But when I’m in home, I sometimes sit on it and listen to music, and watch a movie even now. It is very comfortable, and it relaxes me. So the sofa is one of my favorite places that can relax me.

My Favorite Place

I always spend a lot of time in my room when I am in my home. On ordinary days, I often go back to my home late at the night. Then I try to enter the room to study after taking a bath. Although I actually want to feel relax in the dining room, I try not to do that because I often regret spending time there when I face a lot of assignment to do. Also, I am in my room when I want to watch DVD and read some books because my father and little brother are watching TV all day in the dining room. I cannot concentrate on what I want to do with a noise. In addition, having a sofa and a bed in my room, I often sleep there. Of course, my mother tells me not to shut myself up in my room for a long time. So I try to have dinner with my family on weekends. However, I love my room after all because I can concentrate on my work, hobby and can relax there.

My Favorite Place
     “Dream Sho” is my favorite place, and is name for a one of my friend’s house. It is located near the University of the Ryukyus and San-A. I can go there easily whenever I want. I can buy whatever I want in San-A. Also, it is on very quiet area, so I feel relaxing. There are some musical instruments like the guitar, keyboard, base guitar, and drums and a lot of music scores. I enjoy playing them with my friends. Moreover, there are many comics, magazines, and books. In weekends and holidays, sometimes we have party in there. Actually, we had a birthday party on November eleventh. There came a lot of my friends. We made noodles in a pot and ate it together. I like that place. I hope he, the owner of the house, would never move from there.

Today, I’ll tell you about my favorite place. SAN-A Naha Main Place is my favorite place. I work at there as a part-time job, that’s why I often go there. Also, I go shopping there with my friends.
There are many kinds of shops, for example, tailor’s shops and book store, accessory shops, baker, Starbucks Coffee, McDonald’s and so on. It also has the movie theater. I frequently study at the Starbucks Coffee, and there is the place witch I feel comfortable.
I became friends with clerks in many shops in the Main Place. When I go there with my friends as shopping, I am often spoken “hello! Aren’t you working today?” to clerks at the various shops. My friends are very surprised because I talk with the clerks happily. I can get information about new items and date of sale; therefore, it is good for me to talk with them.
There are many good products and good clerks, why don’t you go there? I really recommend going there.

My favorite place


One of my favorite place is a baseball field where is my baseball training place in my high school days. It locates very high place and little bit far from the school. We can spend here comfortably because it always coming up a wind. And the field is covered with very high net. I used to hit the balls to the net till a late hour. But it filled with my youth and great memories. Whenever I go to the place, I remember my youth and smile spontaneously. I spent almost all of my youth days with baseball and the field. Even if the field is not so beautiful, it is special place for me.

My favorite place

The movie theater in Mihama is one of the places I love and that is the reason why I am working in there. My family, we all love to watch movies and we used to go to the theater least three times in a month. My parents were both working at that time and looked very busy, so going to watch movies was a special time for me to chat with my parents. After watching a movie and on the way back to our home, we always have a little discussion about the content, music, and special-effects of the movie like a movie director. I like not only the unique smell of popcorn but also the atmosphere of the theater which makes me relax. When I was a young, I also liked the people who work there. I remember of them wearing red and black colored vest and bow tie which looked nice. I have been to other movie theaters couple times but I got the fidgets, somehow and felt awkward. The theater is very special to me.

My Favorite Place

I’m going to introduce my favorite place, Village Vanguard, which is the name of the general store. It’s one of the shops in Chatan’s JUSCO, so I don’t often go there because I live in Naha city which is little far from Chatan town. In the store, there are so many kinds of cute sundry goods. For example, there are accessories, stationery, and small articles, of course. In addition, there are many kinds of things which normal general stores don’t sell, such as books, CDs, cooking materials, very big stuffed toy animals, funny goods which you can use for trick, and so on. Namely, because there are so many kinds of unusual goods, I like to shop in the store. Actually, I can be satisfied with just looking around, and I’m never tired of being there. The whole store is choked with such sundries, so it’s little hard to walk through. The store plays slow songs which are sold in the shop, and I think it makes people comfortable. I wish I could live there.

My Favorite Place

If I am told to talk about my favorite place in the world, for sure I am going to choose Okinawa. Why Okinawa? Let me explain it. When I was a child, in Peru, I used to go to the beaches, and I loved swimming there almost every weekend on summer. Then, I came to Okinawa more than ten years ago, and the first impression I had was that the beaches of the island were beautiful. So I realized that Okinawa is a place created for me, a beautiful and peaceful place to live. Beaches are all around the island, and even if you live far from them, I can bet that it will not take you more than twenty minutes to find quite a nice place to enjoy a fantastic day there. Also, Okinawans are very kind, and that is one more reason to love this great place. Now, the winter is coming and I cannot go to my favorite Okinawan beaches, but I think that the time waiting until summer comes makes me love this place more and more. Living here I feel like the King of the World.

My most favorite place

My most favorite place is Hong Kong although I like numerous places in the world. It was at least two months before the Easter holidays in 2007, when I came to Okinawa from Hong Kong. When I was living in Hong Kong, I did not like there so much because there was noisy and filthy then SARS was widespread. What is more, the characteristics of Cantonese people were candid and cantankerous, and there was a demonstration against the government sometimes. However, I had lived in Hong Kong for fifteen years thus I feel homesick recently and I want to go back there with my friends or family a little bit. As you know that, there were a number of buildings so the night view was really bewitching and gorgeous. In addition to that, Chinese food was really delicious and eating moon cakes at the Mid-Autumn Festival was one of traditions in there. Besides, Cantonese people were tender in spite of the fact I listed above. For instance, most of them borrow me or gave me an umbrella when I took shelter from the rain. For these reasons, I feel Hong Kong is the best and I recommend you to go there at once in your life.

My Favorite Place

My grandparents’ house is one of the fantastic places in the world, and I like it. Although it seems ordinary old one-story house in appearance, there are some elements of comfort for me. First, there are many sofas, cushions, and blankets inside the house. These things are necessary for me because I really like sleeping and relaxing. Second, some small garbage and dust are on every floor, in other words, the house is a little dirty. This is pleasant for me because I feel uneasy about too tidy room. Third, I enjoy beautiful sight from inside the house. My grandmother likes gardening, so I can see many beautiful flowers through big windows. It sounds fun, doesn’t it?

My favorite place is the north of Okinawa, because there are a lot of stars in the sky. There are not many buildings in there, so it is so dark on the night in there. We can have a nice time on the night if there are not many department stores or amusement parks in there. Moreover the sea and the scene in there are very beautiful. I recommend you that you go to there on the evening and the night. If you go then, you can see very beautiful scene that we can not see in daily life. There is another good point. It is that there are many Okinawan noodles shops. I love it very much, so I always eat it when I go to there. For that reasons, I favorite the north of Okinawa.

My Favorite Place Izakaya

  Izakaya is my favorite place for three reasons. First of all, they prepare many kinds of foods and alcohols. So I don’t have to cook, or I don’t have to go to stores for another alcohols. Second, I can make noise there with my friends. Everyone is talking and laughing loud in Izakaya, so nobody cares about my loudness. Third, I don’t have to clean up. They take care of us while we are staying there. They take those empty dishes and glasses on the table every time I ordered another, so the table is not crowded by unneeded dishes all the time. Even when I spilled something, they come up and wipe it. When I leave the place also, I can leave everything other than stuff which belong to me. For these reasons, Izakaya is the best place for me to have fun.

My Favorite Place

When I get homesick and extremely miss my parents in Lebanon, my Okinawan uncle always takes me to the Awa River in Yanbaru in order to change my mood. As the river is in the middle of untouched mountain, you can enjoy watching plenty of beautiful green forests and wild flowers which surround it. You may be able to watch wild animals coming to the river to drink some water, which cannot be seen in the city. There is a nature-made bridge at the lower part of the river, which seems to be an old thick tree fell down on it, so you can cross over and enjoy walking the other side. Also there is a twenty meter sized waterfall near the river, which is one of my favorite spots as well. Since there are no people living, you will not hear noises of car, people chatting, factory and electrical appliances. Only you will hear are birds singing, waving branches in the breeze, the clamor of a waterfall and footsteps of you. I highly recommend you to go there. I am sure there will take you another world and bring you peaceful and happy time.

My Favorite Place

My favorite place, it is the room of my grandfather. I have spent, and now spend many hours there watching sumo, reading magazines, and listen to his story about the WWII. Although the room doesn’t have much space, there lie many things: a bed, a chair, a table, a bureau, and a TV. There is hardly any place to run about and perhaps that’s why I became an indoor person. When it rains, I used to open the window and enjoy catching drops of water that fall down from the eaves. That made him very upset because the water comes in the room, but I really liked it. Grandfather’s room was also my refuge from my parents’ scolding, when I got scolded, I always ran into the grandfather’s room and sulked in bed. He always made me a rice-ball to wake me up and stop crying. For twenty years, my favorite place has always been the same, and I wish it will be.

My favorite Place

My favorite place is my room. If you enter my room, there is TV on the left side and CD player on the right side. This two is my vital. The music playing trough the speakers comforts me and the news from TV tells me the things in the world. And next you will see the most important thing in the back of the room, there is the bed. The bed gives me a great ease and it’s very comfortable. And beside the bed, there is a side table and stand light. They are also comfortable things. Near the entrance of the room, there is a book shelf and my favorite books. The things and the spaces in my room give me a lot of happiness whenever I’m in tired. So, my favorite place is my room.

Today, I introduce my favorite place. My favorite place is Toguchi beach in Yomitan village. You may associate beach with swimming. But in this time, I recommend night beach. I especially recommend point is you can see a lot of stars in the sky at night in this beach because there are no high buildings around there. In fact I saw a lot of stars and shooting star last Friday. Then I like talking with my friend about school life or dream or something as we hear wave sound. But I sometimes go to this beach too when I was tired from busy life and my friend was feeling a little depressed. It is like a lullaby for me an d sea breeze so I can very relax.
And another good point of Togchi beach is you can see field of chrystanthemums are light by electricity orange light. You can look this scenery near beach. It is very beautiful and I like orange color so orange light make me feel comfortable.
So Toguchi beach is very nice place for me. You can see a lot of stars, hear wave sounds, feel sea breeze and . so you can relax in this beach at night.
There are reason why I recommend Toguchi beach and you must go to the this beach one time.

My Favorite Place

One of my favorite places is a hair dresser. Whenever I want to have my hair cut for diversion, I usually go there. It is between a skincare shop and a key shop. Two decorations of giraffe stand by the doorway in the receiving line. We can look in of the glass doors the peculiar interior design. Also there are a big chair which three people can sit on, a rocker whose shape is a fish, some furniture and some ornaments everywhere in the shop. Most of those are ethnic and wooden. Then, one of the doors which a white cloth with its name written in hiragana bigly is put on leads me into the shop. From three to four beauticians who work there try to comply with no matter how silly wishes of me. I can always feel fantastic and try to style a new hair there.

My favorite place

One of my favorite places is a book café called Bookish at Urasoe. There are many books especially a picture book in the café. And we can read them freely in there without paying your money. I think that everybody may feel comfortable and calm down in there because of nice atmosphere. The color of the wall is light white which is calmed us down. And the bookshelf, table, and floor are wooden like healing us. Still more, there are some softly sofa and some foliage plants which is decorated so beautiful. Therefore, if you want to talk with your friends or study or feel yourself at ease, I will recommend you to go there very much. The most reason I recommend in there is that the staffs give us so sweetly smile having a power that we smile unconsciously. Please go there with your friends or family one time.
