My main reason for coming to Japan was to see Japanese towns, experience life here, and learn about the country's culture.
Unlike in my country, the rivers in Japan are very clean. Also, there is no litter on the roads. I wanted to see such beautiful nature and scenery.
When I actually came to Japan, I was surprised to find that it was just as beautiful as I had heard.

I also love Japanese anime. I've been watching "Doraemon" and "One Piece" since I was a child.
I used to want to watch all sorts of anime in Japan, but right now I'm working hard so I don't have much time to watch anime.
I'm aiming to be the kind of senior that my juniors can look up to, so I'm refraining from watching anime for a while.

What I'm currently working hard on is studying Japanese.
I'm good at understanding spoken language, but I'm not yet good at speaking it myself.
The senior colleague who is teaching me the ropes speaks in the Kagoshima dialect. Because of that, it's a little difficult to learn the language, but I've finally started to understand it recently.
I'm sure you'll all understand it once you get used to it.
We are looking forward to you coming to Kagoshima Prefecture.
