• Answer:

  運転席は左側にあります。 (Yeah, like Cheapest says, it's not true... in Japan) たいていタクシーか地下鉄を利用していました。 桜公園（or 桜を見られる公園？）に行きましたが、とても広く、開園は午前10時でした。 大きい街にたくさん行きました。（or ～をたくさん訪れました。） これは浅草にあるお寺です。 この辺りは物価が高いです。(It's expensive around here.) ここはずいぶん広いです。広いindicates "be large in area" ここは素敵なところです。 この辺りは高層ビルが多いです。 この辺り is an useful expression: http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%e3%81%93%e3%81%ae%e3%81%82%e3%81%9f%e3%82%8a We tend to avoid saying like "Ｘ(a noun) は(adjective)Ｘ(the same noun as the subject)です"
