Translation

Japan has four seasons, and you can enjoy different scenery in each. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom; in summer, lush greenery spreads out; in autumn, fall colors dye the mountains; and in winter, a quiet snowy landscape spreads out. Recently, there are many times when I don't notice the changes of the seasons in my busy daily life. However, if I pay attention to the small flowers blooming on the roadside or the coldness of the wind, I can see that the seasons are moving slowly. I want to continue to cherish the beauty of nature in my daily life.
