A friend of United Kingdom
JoHello every one I hope that this finds you happy and healthy.

The weather lately has been very comfortable.

This time I would like to introduce Mr.Joseph Man Tang journey in Ito.
He is a student Liverpool United Kingdom.
He was really good his manner of speaking shows his sincerity.

It was nice talking with him . I have been thinking to ask permission to up

his photos on our blog. He said OK!

Jo! We thank you very much for your kind.

Here is sightseeing story from Jo.I would like to share with all of my friends.

Hope you are all well and please take care.






It was a real pleasure to meet you and I would like to say thank you, once again, for all your help during my recent stay. Your effort has given me a smooth, relaxing and most enjoyable vacation. I am very glad that I have followed your sightseeing suggestions today. I took the bus to the suspension bridge bus stop and followed the path towards the marine park. The scenery was absolutely magnificent, I will never forget the clear blue sky, the summer breeze, the sound of waves and the suspension bridge- which was oscillating (moving up and down) slightly when there is a strong breeze or when other tourists walked pass. I also when up the white lighthouse at the end of the path and I was stunned by the beauty of the surrounding mountains and the cliffs, ocean and suspension bridge below.
I then walked to the ocean (marine) park. On the way there, I went past an ice-cream shop and because it was such a hot day and the ice creams looked so nice I decided to have a vanilla favoured one- it was delicious! I got to the ocean park just in time to catch the bus to Omuro. I took a lot of photos from the hill top and I manage to capture Mt. Fuji as well! I also decided to have a go at Archery down in the crater but it was so long since I last shot an arrow….in summary, I missed more than hit but in my own defence, I was standing at 50 (long/large) paces from the targetJ

So these are the highlights of my journey today, I have attached our photos to this e-mail, please let me know if you have any problems opening them.

There is no word in any language that can describe how much I have enjoyed the past two days and I hope that in the future, I would be able to return to Ito once again (if I do I would definitely stay at the Ito-Yamatokan hotel again!)
