Essay 2-01c: My Favorite Place

I have a favorite place. I like outdoors better than indoors, and I like local areas better than a town. In a word, my favorite place is in a local area. It is Daikanbo in Aso. I go to there by motorcycle once a month. I think summer is the best season at Daikanbo. Of course, I can see beautiful sight in all seasons. However, I can't go to there by motorcycle, because the road is frozen.

There is the beautiful prairie all around and we can see "Mt.Aso", but there isn't the mountain which named "Mt.Aso" in Aso. It's named "Aso-gogaku" in Japanese. It has five mountain, Neko-dake, Taka-dake, Naka-dake, Kishima-dake and Eboshi-dake. It is marvelous sight. When I go to Aso, I always go to there.

Daikanbo is very famous place, so there are many people at Daikanbo. In fact, Daikanbo is so good place. However, I don't like a crowd, so I find better place near Daikanbo. There is higher than Daikanbo, and there are no people all the time. There is prairie over everything, and we can see Mt.Aso (Aso-gogaku), the outer rim of a volcanic crater, Aso city, Kuju mountain ranges etc... When we look around, we can see great sight at 360°. I can feel the pleasant wind on the prairie. There is a so good place which is no one knows.

When I go to there, I take a canned coffee. When I drink canned coffee at there, I can feel better taste. Incidentally, my favorite brand is BOSS. I often take a picture at there. However, it is cloudy every time when I take a digital camera. I can't take a good picture. I want to listen to music at there. However, I don't have a portable music player. I want to buy an iPod or a walk man.

The road which leads to Daikanbo is soo good, too. It is called "The milk road". This is the most famous road in Aso. The milk road is chosen "The best 100 roads in Japan". I always pass on this road by motorcycle. I can feel so great.

There is a wonderful road near Daikanbo. It is called "The road in the sky". No one pass on this way so the surface of the road is not good and width of the road is narrow. However, we can see special sight from this road. This road is great road no one knows.

Aso has a lot of other places. For example, Mt.Aso, Hakoishi pass, Tawarayama pass, Yamanami high way, Minamiaso green road etc... They have each wonderful point. They are great place for me. However, I like Daikanbo the best in Aso.
