On vacation, I travel with my parents to Japan. I believe that Japan is a beautiful country where you can have a great rest and gain strength. My mother and I always visit hot springs, oh, there's a horror of how hot it is! With dad we go to festivals. It is worth mentioning the famous Sakura. When I see her, I feel calm. We go to cafes and restaurants, I even saw the Mount Fujiyama with my own eyes. Ah! I forgot to say! Once we went to the ancient Buddhist temple Enryaku-ji. A fascinating sight! Like Japan itself as a whole.

The answer, of course, is obvious. Summer. The most beautiful and hot season of the year, when you can go somewhere far away, plunging into the cool and boundless clear sea. Moreover, in summer there are many more trips than in winter. And besides, discounts for trips almost everywhere.

Speaking about Ukraine, the most famous sights are the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Ukrainian Carpathians, Sofievka Park, Synevyr Lake, Khotyn Fortress, Love Tunnel, St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev, Mariinsky Park, Khortitsa Island, Dniester Canyon, Olesky Castle and much more!
