New Zealand is a Fairy-tale Country !!

by Takeo Maebashi
(Tokyo)

"Lord of the Rings" main character's house

New Zealand is the place where my favorite movie "The Lord of the Rings" was filmed. The series of films is based on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic, which is renowned as one of the greatest fantasy novels ever written.

The country's great natural beauty helped bring the ancient world of the story to life. I saw beautiful scenic pictures on the internet, which showed an unbelievable and fantastic view of the world.

And various tour companies offer tours to see these spots, and which are really popular.

One day I'd like to visit New Zealand!
