Each has unique pereference to the spot they want to visit for sightseeing.
Not to say sightseeing spots, everyone has their own thought of places they like and they hate.

As for me, I make it a rule to go to city areas as well as rural areas.

I respect things I happen to meet with in any area

I am fond of both urban and rural areas because each place has merits.

urban, city areas are convenient: you can get many things from different shops and eat many kind of dishes. And it’s very easy to move to another close places by taking different transportion systems. Especially in Japan, the bullet train, which is world-famous as “shinkansen”, move you at rapid speed to another remote area.

On the other hand, in rural areas, you will experience precious time watching breath-taking natural scenery: beautiful foliage of mountains, rivers of transparent water ruuning down, and rice paddles full of water. In addition, you can enjoy eating indigenous, local delicacies.

The only point I respect for sightseeing spots

So, I often decede where to go by thinking of the only point: I can have a good time visiting there or not.
However, everyone may have the same point, I guess.

One day in a rural area

When I viseted one of rural areas in Japan, which is like my neighborhood in a way, I enjoyed waliking along on a river. The river is not so large, but not too small. There, clean water was silently running down.
I tried to come up to the water and look down it. School of small fish were swimming, I found. Perhaps killifish.
I was surprised and felt interested. I crouched down the river shore and spent some time looking at the small fish.

Most killifish have already disappeared in this area? If so, what are the small fish?
I said to my self and thought about this question for some time.
But finally I concluded that that was merely waste of time and that was not my business.

A travel is always where you are now

However, I don’t want to regard my deed like this as just waste of time.
Actually, I enjoyed thinking of such mere things then. I enjoyed walking along the small reiver and found small fish like killifish, which may be authentic killifish, though.

Isn’t that something of travel?
I enjoyed the landscape and met with interesting fish. I had a good time spending no money.
I htink this way: if you want to travel, sometimes you don’t have to prepare any money or long time for it. The clue to travel may be where you are now.
