    I live in Musashino City. It takes about 30 minutes from Tokyo Station. There are many shops, and there is a beautiful park where we can enjoy nature.
    First, we can enjoy shopping in Kichijoji. There are many different kinds of shops, so we can find almost anything there. We can spend a whole day shopping and eating there. The city also has a famous park called "Inokashira Park" where we can enjoy beautiful nature. We can see many birds throughout the year and cherry blossoms in spring. We can even ride a swan boat.
    Musashino is not only a great place to shop, but also a good place to enjoy nature.

    2. I live in Mitaka City, which is located near the center of Tokyo. One of the city’s main advantages is its convenient transportation system and rich natural environment.
      First, Mitaka offers easy access to major urban areas such as Shinjuku and central Tokyo. It takes only about 20 minutes to reach Shinjuku via the Chuo Line, as express trains stop at Mitaka Station. Second, the city provides a relaxing environment for people of all ages. Both children and senior citizens can enjoy spending time in parks, especially Inokashira Park, which is well known for its cherry blossoms in spring.
      This balance between urban convenience and natural beauty makes Mitaka an attractive place to live and visit.

  3. I live in Mitaka, which is close to both city and nature. However, trees or some plants have decreased bacause the number of buildings has increased due to urban development. I think Mitaka should increase natural areas.
    First, there are large number of elderly people and children in Mitaka, but they do not have plenty of areas to exercise. Mitaka has too much shopping mall or buildings, so it is necessary to create more parks. Second, connections between people in Mitaka have been weakening. Natural parks make people feel safer and decrease crimes.
    Creating natural areas in Mitaka is important for everyone to live safely and stay healthy.

    I live in Chitosedai. I think my city has enough nature and trees.
    There is a huge park called Roka Park near where I live. The park is 8.3 hectares in size, and it has a dog park, a lawn, and many kinds of trees. In addition, many of the streets in my city are planted with trees and shrubbery. Because of a law requiring green spaces, the city is required to create green areas.
    Due to these laws and the current situation, I think my city already has enough nature.
