Xmas-only Chiba Port Tower🗼 in Chiba Prefecture

Went to a nice little cafe/restaurant in Higashi-Ogu the other day. They had a really tasty pork sautee and all sorts of healthy vegetables It tasted great and I felt really healthy after eating it. It was quite reasonably priced as well. I believe this cost 900 yen or so. The place was called Oaikodou おあいこ堂

Tengu-yaki (天狗焼き), a souvenir I bought on a field trip to Mt. Takao. It is shaped like a tengu, a yokai (a supernatural creature) said to live on Mt. Takao. I expected it to be filled with anko (sweet red bean paste), but it turned out to be mashed kuromame (black soybeans) — its subtle sweetness was delightful. Our school is at Nishi-Hachioji Station, near Takao Station. Nishi-Hachioji is on the Chuo Line, which connects to Tokyo and Shinjuku; it lies between Hachioji, convenient for shopping, and Mt. Takao, rich in nature. It was ranked first in the recently announced "Most Livable Cities" ranking. With many supermarkets and hospitals and low rent, it comes highly recommended 😊.

When the sun goes down and the sky turns red Mt. Fuji is clearly silhouetted at the end of the Miura Peninsula The contrast between red and black was a good touch.

Stunning wisteria I wanted to go to "Ashikaga Flower Park" once. I was overwhelmed by the stunning wisteria. Memories of the Year

Azalea and Senbon Torii A competition between azaleas and torii gates at Nezu Shrine. I admired the beauty. Memories of the Year

In spring, the bright light is in the hills park. I came across a forest with cherry blossoms that looked like the original scenery of Japan. Memories of the Year

In spring, at Kichijoji Bunkyo Ward, the weeping cherry blossoms are superb. I was impressed by the number of bottles I had never seen before. Memories of the Year

Meguro River in spring The Meguro River glitters under the bright spring sun. Memories of the Year

[English/Japanese] Hachioji is famous for Mt. Takao. You can see Mt. Takao from school. The other day I climbed Mt. Takao on a school excursion. The autumn leaves were still at their peak, and the view from the lift was excellent. You can also enjoy the scenery along the path to the summit, including finding a rare cedar tree. It was a clear day, so Mt. Fuji was easy to see. I recommend visiting on weekdays when there are fewer people. Hachioji is known for Mt. Takao. Mt. Takao can be seen from the school. The other day I climbed Mt. Takao on a school field trip. The autumn foliage was still present, and the view from the lift was very nice. On the way to the summit you can enjoy the scenery, such as discovering a rare cedar tree. Because it was a sunny day, Mt. Fuji was clearly visible. Weekdays are less crowded and recommended.

It is the beautiful autumn leaves of Kamakura Kakuenji.

Konica Minolta Planetarium in Yurakucho This is a photo I took when I went there before Corona, but unlike the planetarium I saw as a child, it was ☺️ the latest and seemed to be an attraction.

Chiba Kamogawa Onsen Rian. At Rian, you can enjoy the special salt with the strong steak at dinner. All of this salt is made by hand in Katsuura and is often backordered. Salt made with seawater on the day of the full moon "Full Moon Hour". This salt impressed the board length. Please enjoy it with delicious meat. Made with seawater assembled on the day of the new moon, the "New Moon Hour" has a completely different taste from the time of the full moon. Strange, isn't it? At Lian, the new moon tick is also served to customers for tasting. Please ask the staff. There is no souvenir corner yet, but we sell this salt and the proprietress's recommended "warabi mochi" that you enjoy at check-in. This product is not for sale in the store. It is a dish that is sure to be appreciated as a souvenir! !! Warabi mochi 6pcs ¥1,800 Salt 100g ¥1,300

『Blue bird』 With the hope that the blue bird will bring happiness. Washi art carefully finished one by one from washi paper, pulp art blade lamps were made. The stand was designed in the image of a bird's toe. It is designed for indirect lighting that glows LEDs with batteries, and it is very beautiful when lit in a room at night. The light through the washi paper envelops the space with soft light. We are exhibiting at the "Merry Christmas" exhibition at ARTS RUSH, Gallery ARTS RUSH in Daikanyama, Tokyo, which started today.

Across the street from the school is Koujiya Hachioji, a shop specializing in rice koji. Rice koji is rice malt made by cultivating fungi on cooked rice, and it is used in many Japanese dishes. It was very cold in Hachioji today, so I ordered a hot rice koji smoothie. Its gentle sweetness warmed my chilled body and left me feeling refreshed. In Japan, both adults and children often drink amazake, made from rice malt, during winter. When I tell foreign students this, they are surprised and ask, "Children drink sake too?" Amazake is called “sake,” but some varieties contain no alcohol. Please give it a try.

A few years ago we went to TDS✨ for Christmas I don't think I can go this year, so I want to go next year.

The illuminations at Hachioji Station attracted people stopping to take photos and others meeting up. Although the school is at nearby Nishi-Hachioji Station, students often use Hachioji Station for part-time work.

Almost every spot from where Fujisan is visible seems picturesque to me whether it is my workplace or rooftop of my home or any tourist spot. I visited lake yamanaka in last autumn and it was 1st trip to yamanakako but this trip was unforgettable. The scenic beauty of mount fuji framed with goose looks so beautiful. It's was very picturesque and scenic spot.

Went to Shinjuku Gyoen again, this time to see the autumn leaves before the season ends. The park was as beautiful as I thought it would be. Some of the colors were so vibrant as well, it was really nice. The park was nice and quiet and while it was a bit chilly outside, it was a nice chance to get some fresh air. Been busy lately and haven’t been able to go out as much because of it, so this was a nice change of pace
