I climbed Mt. Kurodake and saw a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji! 🗻☀️ The weather was clear and absolute perfection. ​My travel buddy Naru-sensei 🐒 enjoyed the hike with us too! Can you see him sitting on the mountain peak sign in the photo? ​Have you ever seen Mt. Fuji in person, or would you like to visit someday? 😊 ​#LearnJapanese #JapaneseTeacher #JapanTravel #MtFuji #HikingInJapan

Today, I woke up at 10 a.m. and went to university. In class, I learned about Japanese food culture. We studied different kinds of traditional Japanese food and how food culture has changed over time. I also learned that Japanese food is influenced by history, geography, and local traditions. It was interesting to understand why people in different parts of Japan eat different kinds of food. I realized that food is not just something we eat every day, but it is also an important part of Japanese culture and history. I enjoyed today’s class because I could learn more about my own country’s culture. It was a good day at university.

Today, I went to a hair salon to get my hair cut. It had been a while since my last haircut, so I wanted to change my hairstyle a little. I talked with the hairdresser about how I wanted my hair to look. I was a little nervous about the result, but I was happy with the new hairstyle. After the haircut, I felt refreshed and enjoyed my new look. After that, I went shopping. I visited some stores and looked around for things I wanted to buy. I enjoyed checking different items and comparing them before making a decision. Shopping was relaxing, and it was nice to spend some time outside. I bought a few things that I needed. Today, I had a good time. I was glad that I could get my hair cut and go shopping on the same day. It was a simple but enjoyable day. When I got home, I felt satisfied with my purchases and my new hairstyle.
