Does the bus stop here?

Yes, it does. Where will you go?

自然な表現

Yes, it does. Where will you go?

1. You expressed yourself well here. There is nothing to correct, so this is an alternative expression we could use in this context - "what's your destination".
I'm going to ABC mall. I want to watch movies and shop for a few items there. How about you? Where are you headed?

I will go to my father-in-law house. The mall is five stops from here.

自然な表現

I will go to my father-in-law's house. The mall is five stops from here.

1. We need the possessive noun to specify whose house you're referring to.
Oh, okay. That's not so far. How long have you been staying here? Are you familiar with most areas in this town?

I will stay there for a night. They live in this city but we live in the next city. It takes an hour from my home.

自然な表現

I will stay there for a night. They live in this city but we live in the next city. It takes an hour from my home.

1. You expressed yourself well here. There is nothing to correct, so this is an alternative expression we could use in this context - "I will spend a night there".
Me, I will be staying here for a week. I am here on vacation. Please tell me a bit about the city you live in.

Okay, you should go to ABC restaurant in the ABC mall. It is my friend's restaurant and it's very tasty. If you like sweets, I recommend you ABC cake shop too.

自然な表現

Okay, you should go to ABC restaurant in the ABC mall. It is my friend's restaurant and the food there is very tasty. If you like sweets, I recommend    ABC cake shop too.

1. We don't usually say that a restaurant is tasty, but we could say that the food at the restaurant is tasty.
2. "You" is not required here and we don't usually say "to recommend someone something".
Thank you for the recommendations. I will definitely visit there. Please tell me a bit about some of the sightseeing spots as well.

Okay, you can go to a waterfall in 30 minutes. If you want to go there, you will ask the sightseeing center in the mall. Have a nice trip.

自然な表現

Okay, you can go to a waterfall in 30 minutes. If you want to go there, you will ask for directions at the sightseeing center in the mall. Have a nice trip.

1. The meaning of "ask the sightseeing center" may be vague here. Perhaps "ask for directions at the sightseeing center" would convey what you intended to express.
