× I prefer taking pictures of different views because I like to visit, uh, various places like mountain and sea when I visit.
✓ I prefer taking pictures of different views because I like to visit various places like the mountains and the sea when I visit them.
You omitted articles before 'mountain' and 'sea' and omitted the object after 'visit'. In English countable nouns used in a general sense require 'the' with geographical features (the mountains, the sea) or plural forms. Also add 'them' or repeat the object to complete 'visit'. Suggestion: use 'the mountains and the sea' or 'mountains and the sea' and include the object pronoun 'them' if needed.
× When I visit there, I often take pictures and enjoy their atmosphere.
✓ When I visit there, I often take pictures and enjoy the atmosphere.
Using 'their atmosphere' implies plural antecedents, but 'there' refers to a place, better matched with singular 'the atmosphere'. Use 'the atmosphere' to refer to the general feeling of a place. Suggestion: use 'the atmosphere' or specify plural places and keep 'their' if appropriate.
× I prefer rural areas, uh, because I was born in rural area in of my prefecture.
✓ I prefer rural areas because I was born in a rural area in my prefecture.
You need the indefinite article 'a' before 'rural area'. Also remove the unnecessary 'of' after 'in'. Use 'in my prefecture' to indicate location. Suggestion: 'born in a rural area in my prefecture.'
× Uh, when I was a child, I often go to mountain and the sea.
✓ When I was a child, I often went to the mountains and the sea.
The main clause is in the past ('when I was a child'), so the habitual action should use past tense 'went' not 'go'. Also add 'the' and plural 'mountains' for natural expression. Suggestion: match past context with past tense verbs and correct articles.
× It was great experience for me so that I like.
✓ It was a great experience for me, so I liked it.
The original sentence lacks the article 'a' and uses awkward connector 'so that' with present 'I like'. In past context use 'I liked it' or rephrase to present ('so I like it') if still true. Suggestion: use 'It was a great experience for me, so I liked it' or 'It was a great experience for me, so I still like it.'
× I prefer watch, I prefer seeing umm or, or my country's views because I really like Japan's atmosphere especially I like rural areas atmosphere, countryside atmosphere, UMM for example.
✓ I prefer watching, or rather seeing my country's views because I really like Japan's atmosphere, especially the countryside atmosphere.
Use verb+ing after 'prefer' when comparing activities: 'prefer watching' or 'prefer seeing'. 'My country's views' is fine, but avoid repeating 'I prefer' and filler 'umm'. Use 'the countryside atmosphere' with 'the'. Also 'Japan's atmosphere' is fine but combine phrases clearly. Suggestion: 'I prefer seeing my country's views because I really like Japan's atmosphere, especially the countryside.'
