 みなさん、こんにちは！

When it's come to traveling, I've never actually been out of the country, so I've never had the opportunity to visit any places in Japan in my past. I do intend to travel at some point post-grad, so I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Looking at the different prefectures in Japan, one that had caught my eye was the Shizuoka Prefecture, which is most commonly known as the home to Mt. Fuji, a national symbol of Japan. I wish to do some hiking and such when traveling so in the case that I were to travel to Japan, I would love to get the chance to visit and make the trip up, which it seems is only available in the months of July, August, and early September. The Gotemba Premium Outlets are another hot spot in the area: an outlet mall offering a variety of brands at a supposedly wallet friendly price.

Overall, most areas seem incredibly scenic in Shizuoka, offering scenes like the Miho Pine Forest sharing views of not only Mt. Fuji, but the coastline as well, as well as Shimoda Ropeway which gives you the chance to look at Shizuoka from above.
