My home town

This is the Iseri River which is near a flood.

 I had moved four times, so, strictly speaking, I don't have a hometown.  However, if I have to choose my hometown, it is Shimasaki where I live now.  I have lived in Shimasaki for six years, and went to university, I have lived there for three years.  There is Kumamoto Castle, many hospitals, Mt. Kinpo,  the Kamikumamoto Station, city tram's stations, bus stations, and the Iseri River nearby Shimasaki.

 Shimasaki is between the Kamikumamoto Station and the Kumamoto Station.  The nearest city tram's station is Daniyama.  If you use a city bus or city tram, you can get downtown in about twenty minutes, so Shimasaki is convenient.  However, Shimasaki's area is very large.  From around Daniyama Station to around Mt. Kinpo, it is all Shimasaki, so the Shimasaki area which is near Mt. Kinpo isn't very convenient.  I live near the Iseri River.  The Iseri River is clean, but it happens to be near a flood if it rains much.  Sometimes it is dangerous.

 There are two big hospitals in Shimasaki.  The two big hospitals are Seijino Hospital and Jikei Hospital.  Jikei Hospital was reported as the hospital that started a baby hatch.  I saw the news in Hiroshima, so I was surprised at it.  I never thought that my hometown would be in the news.

 In 2007, Kumamoto castle had a large-scale renovation of the Lord's Inner Palace.  Its material is the same as the original material used when it built.  I have been to Osaka Castle, I was disappointed at it because it had an elevator and an air-conditioner.  Kumamoto Castle doesn't have them, so we get tired to go up it.  However, we can feel the old era, and it looks cool!

 I hope Shimasaki will be more a little more convenient to public transportation, but I love my hometown!
