× Karivazawa is really famous for visiting place in Japan, which however is located in the middle of to Japan.

✓ Karizawa is really famous as a visiting place in Japan, which, however, is located in the middle of Japan.

The phrase 'famous for visiting place' is incorrect; it should be 'famous as a visiting place'. Also, 'in the middle of to Japan' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'in the middle of Japan'. Prepositions must be used correctly to convey the intended meaning.

× That's because there are a lot of forest and flowers and, uh, some beautiful scenery in my town, so we can appreciate that every day.

✓ That's because there are a lot of forests and flowers and, uh, some beautiful scenery in my town, so we can appreciate that every day.

The word 'forest' should be pluralized to 'forests' to agree with 'a lot of', which refers to multiple items. Using the singular form here is incorrect when referring to multiple forests.

× I lived for over 10 years in Karizawa.

✓ I have lived for over 10 years in Karizawa.

The present perfect tense 'have lived' is appropriate here to indicate an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Using simple past 'lived' suggests the action is completed, which conflicts with the context.

× I moved to Karuizawa W 10 years ago to get a new job that's really comfortable and I'm going to stay here in Karizawa, UMM for at least 10 years.

✓ I moved to Karizawa 10 years ago to get a new job that's really comfortable, and I'm going to stay here in Karizawa for at least 10 years.

The phrase 'moved to Karuizawa W 10 years ago' contains an extraneous 'W' which is incorrect. Also, 'UMM' is unnecessary and should be removed. The preposition 'to' is correctly used with 'moved to Karizawa'. The sentence is corrected for clarity and grammar.

× That's because, as I mentioned, there are a lot of natural environment, so many children can enjoy playing outside.

✓ That's because, as I mentioned, there is a lot of natural environment, so many children can enjoy playing outside.

The noun 'environment' is uncountable and should be treated as singular. Therefore, 'there are a lot of natural environment' is incorrect; it should be 'there is a lot of natural environment'.
