When I was a child and being later, I always had a passion for looking views full of greenery, forest, trees, river, waterfall, birds, nature and so on. However, these dreams just came true by my first oversea travel to Japan. The first place where I had a stay almost for 4 days and really enjoyed was Fukuoka. One day we went out for sightseeing along with my colleague. In order to join cable and slope cars we took tickets and guide pamphlet from JICA Center and after 10 minutes walking we reached to Yahata station. It was on weekend and shuttle bus free services were also available for everyone, carried through to the foot mountain station from where we have started a short journey to the top of the mountain. A beautiful green mountain covered by dense trees called Sarakura. We had slope car straight toward the top and after that cable car was used for looking around. Both cars were full glass and very helpful to see each point easily. On the way to the top we felt like flying gradually to the sky whereas cable car presented the beautiful view of the city and green edge of the Sarakura heap. Roads and stairs across the whole mountain provide comfort for people walk or drive. In spite of seeing incredible spectacles, we met a Japanese astrologist and two other personalities from Turkey and Algeria to whom we exchanged ideas about own culture and social behaviors. Anyhow, we captured different photos along the way and near about to leave we relished amazing sunset.

Miyazaki is another prefecture of Kyushu famous for good nature and several Shrines. I have been traveling almost to all popular spot but Udo was the most interesting and distinct I have ever seen. It lies at the side of the Pacific Ocean while green mountain, narrow pathways, stone stairs, shops and restaurants doubled its beauty and spell. The Udo shrine is the spiritual place for the Japanese wherever they pay respect and worship for the gods in a very special way. Many people across the country and foreigners come by tour particularly on vacation. After the car line, we had passed some way only by feet and anyone should do because, it is indispensable and no road to the final destination. Two separated ways existed and we had a choice to follow one of them: the first which was slightly flat, short and easy crossing but, the second is lengthy, inclined and has merely stone steps but both joining at the end. As we all were young and really interested to compete in climbing, we chose the sloppy and hard way. A woman accompanying us in this tour seemed very old but passing the same way. However, she hung up walking for a while at the mid and one of my friends asked her in Japanese: “Excuse me, how old are you?” she answered immediately: “I am 86”. It was unbelievable and very surprising for all of us perhaps it is not usual for several in such a late age. Anyhow, finally we all reached to the Shrine which was in the cave, looking strange and ancient. The Shrine’s servant was selling stones for everyone could try throw for bad or good luck to the nearest pond molded in the big stone below. Female allowed costing on the right hand but the male vice versa. According to their believe if someone’s stone threw directly to the pond it means they are lucky.

My short journey to Oshima Island was also full of memories. A small piece of water locked land but full of pleasure and diversity. Actually, it is much quiet and doesn't have rush of the tourists. My friends and I had considered to have a short journey in the ship in order to catch sight of sea travelling. Thus we found Oshima convenient both for enjoying the island and water trip. The ship port is near to Nichinan city and might took 10 or 15 minutes to the edge of the locked land. What a spectacular view! Waves of the ocean, floating of the ships, birds chirping, shiny trees and very silent ambient definitely blew up new soul and pleasure.
