My Good Memory for Business Trip

I have been to Japan for one month business trip on March in 2005. The destination was Yonezawa which located in Yamagata County. That's my first time visit Japan. I was so excited, because my colleagues told me that if you were lucky guy, you might probably see the last snowing because the spring season was coming.

When I arrived at Yonezawa, I was attracted by the beautiful scenery at the moment. It's snow-covered everywhere. It's clear and white everywhere and looked like a drawing. I really love this landscape. Guess what? Next day, when I woke up and looked the view from windows in the morning, it was sonwing outside. How lucky I am!

I think Japan is a wonderful place for tourist, they are modern and very clean. For example, you can see that from ladies room, it's clean and modern, besides, they have convenient transport communications, especially for Shinkansen (high-speed railway), you just buy a return ticket then travel around the cities wherever you want to go, also you can taste many traditional Japanese foods, such as Ramen, Tanpuro, and the famous beef at Yonezawa. I really recommend you should try the railway boxed meal they served. It's delicious! Then, you can buy some special souvenirs as Hello Kitty at train station or each tour site.

In this business trip time period, I have been to visit many special places in Japan. The one of cities where I visited was Ginzan Hot Spring. I went there with my colleague by bound bus and it took us approximately 40 minutes to reach there. The Ginzan Hot Spring is famous not only in Japan but throughout Asia as the setting for the drama Oshin. It is now popular not only for its hot springs but as a sight seeing location as well. Recently, the Ginzan Hot Springs have become incredibly popular, attracting large numbers tourists from not only Japan, but all over the world. I like this place very much, hope someday I can visit there once again!!
