The place which I will never forget

I am going talk about a place which I will never forget.

I have gone to Okinawa prefecture for 4days 3years ago because of my high school excursion. Okinawa prefecture is located in south of Japan. There is warm weather but there are some typhoons regularly in summer time. When I have been there, it was on the middle of October. Usually In October, we have quite cold temperature in the main island of Japan, but there was pretty hot temperature in Okinawa prefecture.
 A first and second day, I went to the place which was related to the world second war. One of the place which I went is Tower of Himeyuri. Himeyuri is one of a team of       Japanese girl’s rescue in the world second war. This building has some goods of the girls and their pictures. Inside of building, I smelled incense sadly because some people who arrived this building used incense for the girls. Some place in this building, I cannot see clearly because of incense. One room, there are lots of their pictures. I felt like someone was looking at me frequently. I read a diary of the girl who was in Himeyuri for 4months. Her diary said that she lost her family after 2week she joined Himeyuri. I was so sad deeply. After I left the Tower of Himeyuri, I felt like I have to consider about war seriously. I don’t want the war occur again.
 Second and third day, I went to the ocean. The ocean is really beautiful. I smelled a fresh sea breeze. I can see the bottom of the ocean surprisingly. When I dove the ocean, I drunk water little bit. It was very salty, so I threw up that water soon. There are lots of activities on the ocean. I had a small tour of ship. I can feed fishes. The fishes are colorful and many kinds. It was pleasant for me. After I went small tour, I rode Banana Boat. Banana Boat is the small boat to ride. Another big boat pulls the Banana boat and we can ride the boat speedy. It was a lot of fun! Near the ocean, I found some hibiscus. The hibiscuses are pretty and charming.
 Okinawa prefecture is the island and far from the main island of Japan, so they have some different languages and strong dialects. Also, they have different personalities from Japanese people in the main island of Japan. They are very optimistic and easygoing. Some people say that warm weather makes Okinawa people optimistic and easygoing.

Okinawa prefecture is wonderful place in Japan. I want to go there again. I know that Okinawa prefecture is one of historical place, but also I feel like time passes slowly. I can relax when I stayed in Okinawa prefecture. That’s why Okinawa place which I will never forget.
