Hi there,
I am back from my trip around Western part of Japan!
I had a great time there.
How was yours?
I have a question,
Does "I am back from my trip around Western part of Japan" sound right?
can I say just "West Japan"?

My revision would be:
"I am back from my trip to the western part of Japan."
Revising the second part of your post, if that's allowed:
Quote:
I visited Osaka, Hyogo(Himeji), Hiroshima(and Miyajima), Kagoshima(and Sakurajima), Kumamoto(and Mt.Aso) for 8 days.
I didn't use airplanes; instead, I used buses and trains!
You save a lot of money, but get really tired.
However, I really enjoy travelling by trains because I can interact with the locals. I can hear how they talk, and the issues they discuss.
Japan is a small country, but there many kinds of accents and dialects in each area.
I am from Yokohama, so I speak a basic type of Japanese with Yokohama slang.
I liked how Kyusu Island people talk (Kagoshima and Kumamoto).
I can't explain why, but it sounded nice to me.
Actually I couldn't completely understand what my uncle said. I met him in Kumamoto, and he has a heavy accent and dialect.
I hope I can travel overseas again in the future, me and my backpack!
Unfortunately, I have a job, apartment rent, etc.
Not enough money, no time....
Oh well...
Everyone! Leave your questions about Japanese too!
Have a good day!
