Narai-juku (奈良井宿)
Jul 16, 2017 22:29
Today was a holiday, so I went to Nagano Prefecture with my friends.
(We really love Nagano.)
Originally, we planned to climb a mountain, but we changed to go to Narai-juku because of the bad weather.
Narai-juku is an inn town that has flourished with a lot of travelers, and traditional Japanese buildings and houses still remain there as Groups of Traditional Buildings.
Since there are many shops that sell traditional things, such as woodworks, lacquerware and local foods, we could enjoy a lot.
After that, we went to "Tateshina Amusement Suizokukan," which is a aquarium located in the highest attitude in the world.
It was relatively small aquarium with only freshwater fish, but it was interesting because there were a lot of unusual fish.
It was a fulfilling day, however I got caught in a terrible traffic jam on my way home, I was really exhausted.

奈良井宿
今日は休日だったので、友人達と長野県に行くことにしました。
(我々は本当に長野が大好きです。)
もともとは登山に行く予定でしたが、天候があまり良くなかったので、奈良井宿という場所を訪れることにしました。
奈良井宿は、かつて多くの旅人で栄えた宿場町であり、現在も重要伝統的建造物群保存地区として、当時の町並みの残しています。
さまざまな木工品や漆器、地域の食品などのお店が立ち並び、とても楽しめました。
その後は、世界一標高が高い場所に位置する水族館、蓼科アミューズメント水族館に行きました。
淡水魚のみの水族館で、規模は大きくありませんでしたが、珍しい魚が多くて楽しかったです。
充実した一日でしたが、帰路はひどい渋滞で、ものすごく疲れました。

It is best to avoid, ''we can enjoy'' and the word ''enjoy''. Many Japanese people use it a lot, but we do not use it that much in English.
