The city where I'm living in is Sagamihara city.
It is located about 30 kilometers (20 miles) west of central Tokyo.
Sagamihara is a big city similar to Yokohama and Kawasaki.
My home is in the mountains about 20 kilometers west from the center of the city.
The climate doesn't have a big difference with Tokyo.
But it is surrounded with mountains, therefore it is a bit cooler in summer.
Instead, in winter it is colder than Tokyo.
There are no famous places, and no historic places in my neighborhood.
We don't have any features except free water and that we can see wild monkeys. XD
Although such a place, I would like to explain a bit my neighborhood.
There is a Lake Sagami which lies beyond the southern mountain from my home.
It is a first artificial lake made after Second World War.
It is used as drinking water of downstream city, such as Yokohama and Kawasaki.
It has also an electric generation plant.
A rowing match was taken place at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964.
There are many people on the lake who enjoy fishing.
To be continued.
私の住んでいる所は相模原市です。
東京から西へ３０キロ程の距離にあります。
相模原は神奈川県で横浜、川崎と並ぶ大きな都市です。
私の家は市の中心部から２０キロ程西へ行ったところの山の中にあります。
気候は東京とあまり違いませんが、
山の中にあるので夏は涼しいです。
しかし、冬は東京より寒いです。
周りには有名な場所も史跡もありません。
水がタダなことと、野生のサルを見ることが出来る以外特徴もありません。
そんな場所ですが、少しだけ周辺の説明をします。
私の家の前の山を越えると相模湖があります。
第二次世界大戦のあとで最初に作られた人造湖です。
下流の横浜や川崎の飲料水として主に利用されています。
発電所もあります。
１９６４年の東京オリンピックのときはここでボート競技が行われました。
釣りを楽しむ人も多くいます。
つづく
