Grammar
× Yes I do. I prefer to sit by the window when traveling because I want to see landscapes and it makes me feel curious about my trips.
✓ Yes, I do. I prefer to sit by the window when traveling because I want to see the landscapes and it makes me feel curious about my trips.
The word 'landscapes' refers to specific scenery seen from the window, so using the definite article 'the' is more natural. Add a comma after 'Yes' for standard punctuation. Suggestion: use 'the landscapes' when referring to particular scenery you expect to see, or keep no article if meaning landscapes in general ('see landscapes').
× Yes, I had a long journey to Hokkaido with my family when I was a child. I could see both nature such as lakes and mountains. Especially I was overwhelmed by the big waterfalls.
✓ Yes, I had a long journey to Hokkaido with my family when I was a child. I could see various natural features, such as lakes and mountains. I was especially overwhelmed by the large waterfalls.
'Both' is used for two items and is not appropriate with the open list 'such as lakes and mountains' when you mean several natural features; use 'various' or omit 'both'. 'Nature' as an abstract noun does not fit directly after 'see'; use 'natural features' or 'scenery'. 'Especially' should be placed before the clause or phrase it modifies; here 'I was especially overwhelmed...' is correct. 'Big' is colloquial; 'large' is a more natural adjective for waterfalls. Suggestions: replace 'both nature such as' with 'various natural features, such as' and move 'especially' before the verb.
