The Oi Shrine Grand Festival is also called the "Obi Festival" and is a festival in which the god of Oi Shrine returns to the old shrine site (inn) once every three years. Today, for three days including the second Sunday in October, a gorgeous festival is held in the town of Shimada where dainu, daimyo processions, Kashima odori, street stall dances from 1st Avenue to 5th Avenue, and ground dances are held. Especially on the last day, all of them form a large procession together with the mikoshi procession, and they slowly parade for a whole day for a round trip of about 4 km from Oi Shrine to the inn. Due to the appearance and swing of the dainu at this time, as well as the unique form of Kashima Odori, the obi festival has come to be counted as one of the three strange festival in Japan. In addition, since the Edo period, first-class entertainers from Edo have been invited to choreographed dances in each town, Nagauta, and shamisen, and Nagauta in particular is also called "Nagauta Festival" because the iemoto of each school competed for throat.

In the station building "Cereo Hachioji" of Hachioji station, there is a Vietnamese restaurant called "Jasmine Palace". Vietnamese food is "Pho", but this restaurant is not only where you can eat pho but also various rare Vietnamese dishes. In addition, most of the dishes are set menu, and it is attractive that you can enjoy various dishes little by little. I ordered banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) and Vietnamese fried rice on this day. The tea is lotus tea, and the dessert chai (Vietnamese zenzai?) ✨ Vietnamese students who graduated from our school also ? used it from time to time Hachioji Recently, the number of restaurants in Southeast Asia has increased. The students are also very happy to be able to enjoy the taste of their hometown near the school!

When I lived in Kyoto, I often visited for sightseeing. It is a famous Arashiyama. The bridge in the photo is called "Togetsukyo Bridge", and it seems that the origin of the bridge's name is that the old emperor saw the moon moving on the bridge and commented, "It is similar to the crossing of the moon without a bear." The autumn leaves of Arashiyama are very famous, so in autumn it is crowded with more people than usual. I also ate salt-grilled ayu here, and the freshly grilled ayu while looking at the autumn leaves spreading in the distance and the river flowing in front of me was the best.

When I was in college, I lived in Kyoto, and on my days off, I often visited famous temples and shrines. It's a pity that I forgot exactly where I took this pond, but I couldn't help but press the shutter because I thought it was beautiful to see the leaves that fell due to autumn leaves floating in the pond and spreading out like a carpet. In spring, I thought that the peach-colored carpet must be spreading. Once again, it was a moment when I felt that the four seasons in Japan are wonderful.

On both sides of the approach to the shrine with a view of the worship hall, there is a pair of stone top dogs, which always protect the gods. This powerful and dignified komainu was dedicated in 1938 by a then-famous Japanese confectionery shop called "Oki Kyodo" in Hondori 5-chome, Shimada, the year after the start of the Sino-Japanese War (China Incident), and was carved by Shimada stonemason Masuno-chohei. The right pedestal is carved with the words "Takeyu" and the left pedestal is carved with "Nagahisa", and it seems that it is a top dog dedicated to pray for Japan's victory and peace, and the safety of those who went to war.
