There is a "Hachimaru Station" in Hachioji station where products made in Hachioji are sold. Hachioji has many specialty products, but the city is very large, so it is nice to be able to easily buy such products in the station like this😊"I didn't know such products existed!" Every time I visit, I make a new discovery.
八王子の駅の中に八王子で作られた商品が売っている「はちまるステーション」があります。八王子にはたくさんの名産がありますが、市内はとても広いので、このように駅の中で気軽に買うことができるのはありがたいですよね😊「こんな商品もあるのか！」と訪れる度に新しい発見があります。

代官山にあるギャラリー ARTS RUSH にて開催中の『きのこ展』。
パルプアートのきのこランプ、出展させていただいています。

今回DMにしていただいたのは、キヌガサタケのランプ🍄✨
以前からいつか作ってみたいと憧れていたきのこの女王様です。

カサ、ドレス、たまご、柄の部分。ひとつ一つのパーツをそれぞれ質感がらしくなるようにパルプの漉きかたを考えながら丁寧に制作いたしました。

撮影するのにアトリエ裏散策していたらきのこの群衆が！
群衆は、イヌセンボンタケ。
次の日また見たら全員いなくなっていましたが、そのインパクトがすごかったのでさっそく試行錯誤して制作してみました。

きのこ展、明日までになりますが作家様たちの個性豊かな作品がお楽しみいただけます。お近くにお越しの方、ぜひお気軽にご覧ください♪

宇宙船に浮かぶ都市。国立競技場観光。東京は見どころいっぱい。おのぼりさんです。

ここはどこ？素敵なヨーロッパの街角の様。日銀の角です。誰も居ない東京。おのぼりさんなのです。

小金井の江戸東京たてもの園
戦前の建物が多く保存されており、半日以上楽しむことができました。
日本家屋メインでしたが、和洋折衷のモダンな建物も中まで見学でき、非常に満足のいく体験ができました。

こんなとこからひょっこりジオラマのよう。おのぼりさん。東京タワー🗼大好きです。

Stopped by Cerian, a confectionary shop a minute's walk from the school, and found the now rare "raccoon dog cake! I didn't hesitate to buy it 😊"Tanuki Cake" is a raccoon-shaped cake that became popular about 40 years ago, and it is even said to be an endangered species, as there are fewer and fewer stores making this cake these days. I was very impressed by how carefully the raccoon's face was made. The taste was very sweet, and my fatigue flew away ✨
学校から徒歩1分の洋菓子屋さん「セリアン」さんに立ち寄ったら、今は珍しい「タヌキケーキ」を発見！迷わず買ってしまいました😊「タヌキケーキ」は今から40年ほど前に流行した、タヌキの形をしたケーキで、最近はこのケーキを作る店が少なくなっていることから、絶滅危惧種とも言われているくらいです。タヌキの顔がとても丁寧に作られていてとても感動しました。味はとっても甘くて、疲れが飛んでいきました✨

The identity of any city is the famous architecture, location, cultural etc. Sensoji is one of the prime identity of this city and from here we can see another current architectural wonder Skytree. One stands for the old and cultural part of this city and the other one is the symbol of Japan's modernity.

Sensoji, the iconic symbol of tokyo. I visited this place several times and everytime I feel very good. The view of the temple looks much better in the night time than the day time, I guess. Also during day time the temple ground is usually too congested but ib the night time its much better. I wish to visit here again.

There is a candy shop a two-minute walk from the school. A candy store is a store that sells children's snacks. The sweets are priced at 10 yen, 20 yen, and other prices that even children can afford. The dagashi are decorated with Momotaro a Japanese folktale, beckoning cats traditional ornaments, and festival happi a cloth worn at festivals, allowing visitors to learn about Japanese culture. The other day, during a break in class, I gave the students some candy as a gift, and they were very happy. They especially loved the candy that crackled and popped in their mouths!
学校から徒歩2分の場所に駄菓子屋さんがあります。駄菓子屋さんは子どものお菓子を売っているお店のことです。お菓子は10円や20円など子どもでも買える値段になっています。駄菓子には桃太郎（日本の昔話）や招き猫（伝統的な置物）やお祭りのはっぴなどが描かれていて、日本文化を知ることでできます。先日、授業の休み時間に学生たちに駄菓子をプレゼントをしたらみんなとても喜んでいました。特に口の中でパチパチとはじけるキャンディが人気でした！

A 3-minute walk from the school, you can have matcha and nerikiri at Hanano, a cafe specializing in Japanese green tea. This is a wonderful store that is both a boutique and a café. Here, you can even try your hand at making nerikiri the Japanese confectionery pictured in the photo. International students, especially female students, like to look at the books of wagashi. A Vietnamese student said, "Wagashi changes its design with the seasons, and they are all so beautiful and wonderful. She said. The wagashi in the photo is designed as a "Gamaguchi" purse.
学校から徒歩3分、日本茶専門カフェ花野さんでは抹茶とねりきりをいただくことができます。こちらはブティックとカフェが併設されている素敵なお店です。こちらではねりきり（写真の和菓子）を作る体験もできるそうです。留学生、特に女子学生は和菓子の本を見るのが好きです。ベトナムの学生は、「和菓子は季節によってデザインが変わり、どれもとても美しいので素敵だ。」と言っていました。※写真の和菓子は「がま口財布」をデザインしたものだそうです。

I'm a Doraemon fan, and I really felt happy to see this 32 ft tall Doraemon art by Takashi Murakami.

It's one of the highlights of the Roppongi Night Art event 🌸

I'm on my one-week holiday here in Tokyo 😍 Last Sunday, I went to Roppongi and saw this amazing metal art at Roppongi Hills. It's entirely made from wheelchairs 😲🌸

This was part of the Roppongi Night Art held last September 17th to 19th.

Takohachiya" is a grill shop. It is located alongside the Hachioji Central Library, about 6 minutes from the school. This time I ate not takoyaki but "takosen". Takosen" are takoyaki sandwiched between octopus crackers, and are famous as a snack for children in Osaka. There are many takoyaki shops in Tokyo, but this was the first time I saw takosen being sold. The fluffy takoyaki sandwiched between crispy rice crackers was very tasty 😊Bangladeshi students do not eat seafood such as octopus and squid. Please be careful when making recommendations to foreigners.
焼き屋「たこ八や」。八王子中央図書館の並びで、学校からは6分くらいです。今回食べたのはたこ焼きではなく「たこせん」です。「たこせん」はたこのせんべいにたこ焼きを挟んだもので、大阪の子どものおやつとして有名です。東京にもたくさんたこ焼き屋さんはありますが、たこせんが売られているのを見たのは初めてでした。ぱりぱりのおせんべいにふわふわのたこ焼きが挟まれていて、とってもおいしかったです😊バングラデシュの学生はタコやイカなどの海鮮は食べないそうです。外国人におすすめをする際には気を付けてくださいね。

過去に六本木ヒルズの展望台に上った時に撮っていた夕景です。スマホで撮っていたものです。やはり東京は大都会だなぁと感じたことです。

Today we will introduce Taihachi's Taiyaki, famous for their size, so large that you don't even need to eat a meal after eating one. It is located a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station. Taiyaki is a very popular sweet even among foreigners!
今日紹介するのは、その大きさで有名な「鯛八」のたい焼きです。1つ食べれば食事をしなくてもいいくらいのサイズで、食べごたえは満点。八王子駅から徒歩5分の場所にあります。たい焼きは外国人からもとても人気があるスイーツなんですよ～

Finally managed to visit Shinjuku Gyoen over the weekend

Been meaning to go here for a while now and finally had the chance

The park itself was quite large, it was a bit surprising how much space it actually takes up in the city.
There were a lot of cool stone lanterns and other structures to see throughout the park as well.
The Taiwan building was pretty interesting to learn about. Apparently it was donated to Japan in 1924 by Japanese people living in Taiwan.
The sign outside mentioned that it was a nice place to feel the breeze and it wasn't a lie either. It felt really nice standing on the balcony overlooking the pond. The breeze came through perfectly.

Unfortunately we didn't bring a blanket with us to the park but there were a lot of other people laying down on the grass and it looked like a nice place to have a picnic.

We stopped at one of the rest areas and grabbed some drinks as well. I got a lemonade drink that was really refreshing and she got a café latte.

We took a quick tour through the greenhouse at the end as well and it had a lot of cool plants inside. I found this flower with grey leaves that I thought was really cool looking.

I definitely want to return during autumn to see how the park looks after the leaves change!

Spring is a very special season for us here in Japan. This year my wife first time decided to celebrate the sakura season in a very traditional way of this beautiful country. We enjoyed the day a lot. She had a special love for that umbrella too. Its a really really a very memorable day for both of us. May be whole life we can't forget that day.

Do you know "Miyako Manju," the soul food of Hachioji? 30 yen per piece, you can buy these manju near Hachioji Station. They are popular among students because of their affordable price. They taste very delicious with a gentle sweetness. The store is a local store that collaborates with a nearby university, and the design of the manju often changes, so you can enjoy eating it while having fun. You should definitely try it 😊.
八王子のソウルフード「都まんじゅう」をご存じですか？1個30円で、八王子駅周辺で購入できるお饅頭です。お手頃価格なので、学生にも人気です。味は優しい甘さでとても美味しいです。近くの大学とコラボをするなど地元密着のお店で、まんじゅうのデザインもよく変わるので、楽しみながら食べられますよ。是非一度食べてみてください😊

]The signboard at Hachioji Station changes its cute illustrations with the seasons. For example, March is the Doll Festival, June is boots, August is a festival, and so on. My favorite is the Setsubun design for February. I always look forward to seeing the next illustration.
八王子駅の看板は季節によってかわいいイラストが変わります。例えば、3月はひな祭り、6月は長靴、8月はお祭りなどです。私が一番好きなのは2月の節分のデザインです。次はどんなイラストなのかいつも楽しみにしています。

以前行った築地で人気の甘味屋さん🍦ლ´ڡ`ლ

Visited Shibamata for the first time over the weekend.

I'd been meaning to go for a while because it seemed like an interesting place to visit in Tokyo, but I just hadn't had the chance until now.

It was a really nice place and I was surprised at how few people were there.
There was a ton of shops lined up along the main street and the wooden buildings gave it a really nice atmosphere.

I haven't seen Otoko wa Tsurai yo, but there were statues and posters of Tora-san everywhere, even inside shops and stuff. I guess I'll have to watch it some time when I have the chance.

We ended up eating lunch at one of the restaurants along the main road and they had some Tora Miso Ramen so we decided to try it. It was pretty good and had a decent amount of vegetables in it as well, so moderately healthy for ramen I suppose. We also got some dessert at a cafe afterwards and she got some dango while I ordered an ice cream float.

We also went to the nearby temple Shibamata Taishakuten 柴又帝釈天, or Daikyoji Temple and walked around the main temple grounds and also bought tickets to see the garden and the architecture inside the temple. The garden was really pretty and the walkway around it was quite nice to walk on.

I really enjoyed viewing the inside of the temple as there was a ton of hand-carved panels depicting different scenes. There were descriptions below each of the panels that described them as well, and they were interesting to read.

It seemed like they were all carved by different people but they were all highly skilled.

When we were leaving we found a nice little shows style candy shop and we bought some snacks and played a round of pinball on one of the pinball machines inside the shop. Haven’t played pinball since I was a kid, was pretty nostalgic.

If you're in Tokyo I definitely recommend giving this place a visit on the weekend.
