My favorite place in America
06.10.2026
The other day, I went to Yosemite National Park for the first time. I had seen it many times in photos, but the actual scenery was even more impressive than I had imagined, and I was truly moved. The massive rock formations, waterfalls, and vast open atmosphere are things that are hard to experience in Japan, and it really made me feel, “This is America.”
What I especially cannot forget is the quiet morning air and the immense scale of nature. I usually live a busy life, but at that moment, it felt as if time was moving more slowly. Since coming to America, I’ve visited many different places, but Yosemite is my favorite so far. I’d like to go back again in a different season.
