I am an English teacher and I live in Tokyo. My name is Brad. Early last Q1 , I went on a trip to Izu with some friends. First, we took a trip out to Oshima island to go camping for a few days. Then, we came back to Shimoda to go surfing at Shirahama Q2 . We were told that the cherry trees bloom early in this area, so the next day we Q3 to go and see some cherry blossoms. On our last day before going back to Tokyo we went on a Q4 to see the Seven Waterfalls in Kawazu. Because I saw so many wonderful things, now I can understand why Izu is such a Q5 tourist destination!
