離不開日本 —— 小鎮時光的魅力

The Charm of Villages—Why You Can Never Get Enough of Japan

許多年來 , 身邊的日本朋友總是會問我 :「為什麼臺灣人那麼愛來日本 ? 難道都玩不膩嗎 ?」我 便會以一種代言人的口吻 , 幫忙所有熱愛到日本旅行的臺灣人回答他們 :「因為大家都離不開日本了。」

確實很難會膩。一旦你來過日本旅遊以後 , 就會忍不住想舊地重遊。舊地重遊過後 , 又會興起去沒到過的地方探索。幾個大都會完成攻略了 , 接著等在你前方的 , 還有許許多多藏在大景點之間的山城、 海濱與小鎮。

For years, my Japanese friends have asked why the Taiwanese are so obsessed with Japan and how they can never get tired of it. I would simply say, on behalf of all Japanophiles, “They just can’t get enough of it.”

Indeed, visitors have this irresistible fascination. Once you come here, you can’t help but come back. Every time you return, you will want to explore more and take on new adventures. After submerging yourself in the hectic crowds, you begin longing for the attractions lurking in between the mountains, along the coast, and in the rural areas.

瀨戶內海上的小島風景令人心曠神怡。 One just can’t get enough of the spectacular island scenery from the Seto Inland Sea.
