福島大学の留学生と過ごした今までの生活はとても楽しかったです。福島県は自然がとてもきれいで、ウィルスの影響でイベントがなくても、面白いところへ行くことができました。例えば、私の住む場所国際交流会館から、歩くと４０分かかる山、花見山です。花見山は桜の季節には大変美しいです。桜の花だけではなく、桃の花や、梅の花などを楽しむことができました。道を歩いて山の頂上まで登りますと、町の景色を見渡すことが出来て、本当にきれいだと思いました。

　他にも自然豊かな場所があります。例えば信夫山や小鳥の森です。小鳥の森からも町の景色が見えて、小鳥の囀りも美しいし、リラックスできる場所だと思います。信夫山にはまだ行ったことないけど、今週天気が良くなってきたから、次に時間が出来た時には必ず行きます。みんなも福島県の美しさを楽しむことができればいいと思います。

　　My life so far as an exchange student at Fukushima University has been very fun. Fukushima Prefecture's nature is beautiful and, even with no events to attend due to the virus, there are many interesting places I had the opportunity to visit. For example, Hanami-yama which is only 40 minutes by foot from the place I live, Fukushima University's International House. Hanami-yama is really really beautiful during sakura season. You can enjoy looking at not only cherry blossoms, but　peach and plum blossoms as well, and so on. If you walk along the path, you can reach the peak of the mountain and see the whole city's scenery, which I found very beautiful. There are other nature landmarks too, like for example Shinobu mountain and Forest of Small Birds. You can also see the whole town's scenery from the Forest of Small Birds, and the bird songs are beautiful, so it's a place where you can really relax. I haven't been to Shinobu mountain yet, but now that this week the weather has gotten nicer I definitely intend on going next time I'm free. I'd love it if everyone else could enjoy the beauty of Fukushima Prefecture as I did.
