Okay. We have a thirty-minute trip to my destination. What kind of aspects do you want to know? Which ones do you prefer; Food, culture, famous places, music, and so on?

1. Use "a" before "thirty-minute" to indicate an indefinite or general trip.
2. "'Thirty-minute' is a compound adjective specifying the duration of the trip, following the common practice of using a singular form when a number precedes a noun (e.g., ten-dollar bill)."
3. Use "music" instead of "musics" to indicate the uncountable noun that describes the art or activity of combining sounds.
- Also a comma is needed after the word "music". This comma usage is known as the Oxford comma or serial comma, and it's used before the conjunction ("and" in this case) when listing three or more items in a series.
I am interested in everything personally. However, you can tell me about food and culture first please.

I understand. As you may have heard, in Japan people take off their shoes when they enter a house. This culture is based on the story that there are gods in the house. Indeed, there is a small shrine every house.

1. "Use 'in every' instead of 'every' to indicate the preposition and the determiner that describe the location and the quantity of something."
That is very interesting! What kind of shrines do you have in your houses? Where do you leave your shoes?

It is called Kamidana. It's like a small shelf on the wall. We display the amulet I received at the shrine on the Kamidana, and we sometimes pray our happiness to the Kamidana. All houses have a entrance, and people take off their shoes there.

1. Use "for" after "pray" to indicate the object or purpose of something.
2. Use "an" before "entrance" to indicate an indefinite or general entrance.
I see what you mean. That is really fascinating! What can you tell me about traditional food in Japan?

Sushi is the most popular traditional food in Japan. You can eat it wherever you visit in Japan. Since Japanese food was registered as World Cultural Heritage site about 10 years ago, Japanese food culture has spread all over the world.

Oh, I see. I have definitely heard about sushi. I have never tried it though. What kind of sushi would you recommend?

If you are able to eat raw fishes, I strongly recommend tuna and salmon. If you don't prefer them, I recommend conger eel the most.
