Essay2-05 Secret of Kumamoto

Kumammoto is very good place. There are a lot of beautiful things and a lot of delicious foods in Kumamoto. Kumamoto has only famous things but also nobody knows good things. I introduce one of the good place in Kumamoto. It is "KIKUCHIKEIKOKU". This is a river. But it doesn't just a river. KIKUCHIKEIKOKU has very clear water and very beautiful view. When I saw the first time, I was very surprised. KIKUCHIKEIKOKU has another good point. We can enjoy to go KIKUCHIKEIKOKU in summer and fall. Next I introduce how to enjoy KIKUCHIKEIKOKU in summer and fall.

Summer is very hot in Kumamoto. So we want to swim, don't we? We can swim at KIKUCHIKEIKOKU. Water is very clear, so we can see under the water. Also there is some big rocks at KIKUCHIKEIKOKU. Some children climb the rock and jump in the river. It is very exciting. When I went to KIKUCHIKEIKOKU in summer of the year before last, I did it. It was so fun. I enjoyed it like children. If you go to KIKUCHIKEIKOKU, please try to it. Of course, you can enjoy just swimming.

Also KIKUCHIKEIKOKU in fall is very attractive. Because we can see very beautiful view. The leaves turn, so we can see yellow and orange leaves. These are very beautiful. I think that we can't swim in fall. Because water is so cold. I think that we bring lunch box and eat it with see the leaves is the best to enjoy. If you are tired or stress build up, you should go KIKUCHIKEIKOKU. It is certain that you can feel refreshed.

KIKUCHIKEIKOKU is very popular place in Kumamoto. But Some people don't know surprisingly. Because KIKUCHIKEIKOKU is in "Kikuchi". Kikuchi isn't the city. And a little bit far from the city. So Some people especially isn't from Kumamoto don't know. But recently, KIKUCHIKEIKOKU is focused as a place of interest. So KIKUCHIKEIKOKU will be more popular and famous. This is very glad for me. KIKUCHIKEIKOKU is very wonderful place. I hope as much people as possible to visit KIKUCHIKEIKOKU.
