My hometown

Hello!
 I'm Makie Uchiyama. I'm from Onoe in Hirakawa city which is near Hirosaki city. Onoe is a town found in the countryside of Japan.
 My hometown is famous for　盛美園(Seibien). It is a house with a beautiful garden and compromises between Japanese and Western styles. In order to see this garden and this house, many tourists visit　盛美園 every year. And morever, It is said that "かりぐらしのアリエッティ", 宮崎駿's animation, was modeled after the garden at 盛美園. I've not wacthed this movie yet, but I've been to 盛美園 once. It was so beautiful !! You should visit there:)

My Hometown

 Hello!

 My hometown is Takatsuki in Osaka, which is somewhere between Osaka City and Kyoto City. I was born in Tonda located in the southwest of Takatsuki.
 Tonda has many temples and Honshouji is one of the most famous temples in Tonda. A friend of mine didn't enter high school because he followed the temple as a priest.
 Making sake or rapeseed oil was flourishing. However, now only two sake breweries are left and residential area spreads.
 I was born and brought up in this city, so I love it.
