【Isehara Flower Information】 January 22, 2024 Hyuga Yakushi, Ametake Bunko, Plum in the General Sports Park ... It is beginning to bloom. Plum blossoms are beginning to bloom in Isehara City. Perhaps due to the influence of the warm winter, it seems that the flowering is earlier than usual. The scent is good, and you can feel the arrival of spring a little earlier. By the way, wax plum is also a yellow flower that blooms during this season, but this is a member of the Roubai family, and it seems to be a different variety from the plum of the Rosaceae family. In any case, I'm looking forward to seeing it in full bloom.

Do you know Myanmar rock-paper-scissors? Myanmar rock-paper-scissors is said to be fought with "tigers", "police" and "guns". Tigers are strong against the police, but weak against guns. The police are vulnerable to tigers, but they are strong with guns (because they can control the guns). Guns are weak against the police, but they are strong against tigers. That's the power relationship! ?? ♀️? The photo on the left is a police pose, and the one on the right is a tiger pose! Students from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Mongolia study at our school. The students get along very well across borders and respect each other's cultures. ?

Gotokuji. I'm shooting in winter, but the autumn leaves are still very beautiful. It seems that you will see various faces in each season. It has a calm atmosphere and few people, so it is recommended for those who want to enjoy a date slowly. The wheelbarrow is just like Japan!

There is actually a valley in Todoroki Ryokuchi. It's a very clear place with very clear air, and it's perfect for a date. There is a statue with a mysterious atmosphere a short walk away. You can take a different face every time you take a picture, so if you are a photographer, please go and take a picture.

I was stunned by my husband ♡ when I involuntarily blew on the wind chimes swaying in the wind At Kawasaki Daishi's wind chime market. The pattern of the yukata is also Japan, and the model (me) has a Japan face! (laughs)

There is a spot in Tokyo that is famous for beckoning cats, but Kawasaki is not to be outdone! Kawasaki Daishi also has a lot of beckoning cats! Cats ? full of personality

Summer 2023. Kawasaki Daishi's wind chime market was held for the first time in a long time. It is one that seems to hear the sound of wind chimes.

A 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station, we went to the Sri Lankan restaurant "Ceylon Green" behind Don Quijote. The building itself has a very unique shape, and many people are reminded of Minecraft's Nether Fortress. This time I ate a Sri Lankan B-grade gourmet called "Kottu". Kottu is a dish of noodles made of wheat flour with vegetables. It was a little spicy than other Hachioji restaurants I had eaten at before, so the sweetness and carbonation of ginger beer (Sri Lankan juice) was pleasant to the mouth. The number of Sri Lankan students has also increased at our school, so we are very happy to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in Hachioji. ? I'm going to try another dish.

【First Yakushi in Reiwa 6】 Yesterday, the annual Yakushi event "Hatsuyakushi" was held, and it was crowded with many pilgrims. Around 12 o'clock, there was a line of cars in the parking lot of the Hyuga Yakushi bus stop and the Yakushi Forest Road, and it was difficult to pass each other. After turning back, I was finally parked in the parking lot of Bochu and walked from the mountain gate to the main hall. An elderly man who came down said, "You're afraid to come, I don't have porridge anymore," and I stopped in my tracks. But a picture is worth a thousand words. We had just started the climb, so we hurried ahead. When I went up to the main hall, I found that the porridge oven was still being cleaned, and unfortunately I couldn't have it this year. However, even after the distribution of porridge was over, there were constant pilgrims, and it was Hyuga Yakushi who was celebrating a lively New Year's holiday.

We look forward to working with you again this year. Notices outside the school have become New Year's greetings from various countries. In addition, since classes will resume today, we also started writing.
