Polished transcript:

Male Female

I would like to visit Japan one day, and in particular, I would like to visit Tokyo. I have watched a lot of films and read many books set in Japan, so I'm really curious about how it is in person. I don't know much about the culture; I have just heard about some things. I really like their cuisine, and sometimes I go for sushi with my friends. I think that visiting a place so different, one that has nothing in common with my mother country, is a good adventure. So I look forward to going to Asia and having this experience. The first thing I would visit would probably be the Ghibli Studio, which is the studio where anime movies are made and where the drawings are created. I would also visit Mount Fuji and the coast because I've heard and read that there is a beautiful coastline in Japan. I really like the contrast between modern and traditional life, and the contrast between cities and rural towns there. I hope it will be my next trip, maybe.
