[English/Japanese] To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the start of the railroad business, JR East is developing "Pokégenic", a photogenic spot shooting with various Pokémon at stations and Shinkansen stations in JR East area. Found this photo spot in Hachioji! It's cute. By the way, the anime popular among our students is "Doraemon. In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the opening of the railway, JR East Japan is developing "Pokegenic" that allows you to take photogenic spot photos with various Pokémon at stations and bullet trains in the JR East Japan area. I found this photo spot in Hachioji! Cute, isn't it? By the way, the anime that is popular with our students is "Doraemon".

Mount Fuji. This is a photo taken on a midsummer evening across the sea from Hayama in Kanagawa Prefecture. Unfortunately, it is cloudy and the saturation is low, It is a photo that has an unexpected atmosphere with a gradation of clouds, haze and shadows.

This is the scene seen from the Inage Coast. For Tokyoites who usually casually look at the Tokyo Skytree, the sunset seen from Chiba and the Tokyo Skytree were different.

A place loved as a famous place for cherry blossoms and many people think of "Imperial Palace Chidorigafuchi" "Chiyoda-ku Noryo no Night" is a traditional Japanese "lantern flow" that began 1958 (Showa 33) to heal the hearts of people who were devastated after the war. In recent years, it was canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but 2022 (Reiwa 4) has been revived for the first time in three years. On a summer night in central Tokyo, the light of 2,000 lanterns filled with people's wishes and hopes, We have created a fantastic scenery shimmering on the surface of the moat. Many tourists and boat participants from Japan and abroad float in the "Beacon of Hope." Each one expresses the gratitude and wishes of the participants.

As part of the "Sawara Hina Meguri" (early February to early March) event in Sawara, Katori City, Chiba Prefecture, Uchiura-sama and a group of chicks dressed in glittering Hina costumes parade up the Ono River along the water with the beautiful sound of gagaku. You can enjoy the scenery of the good old Japan.

I photographed Nikko Mt. Mentai from Yaita City, Tochigi Prefecture. Unfortunately, the weather is bad, but there is a band of light coming in from between the clouds. It was beautiful. This is the view from the observatory near Happogahara.

Kashiwanoha Park, Chiba It is one of the largest parks in Japan. It is a park where you can see the beautiful scenery peculiar to the four seasons.

The sea beyond the Morito Daimyojin in Hayama. The sea shines orange in the sunset just before it sets. This is a recommended spot where you can see the sunset on the horizon, Mt. Fuji, and Enoshima together.

Matsudo at the beginning of color. Kyoto and Kamakura are famous, but there are many other beautiful temples.

If you go further from Takaosan Yakuoin Okunoin, you will find Fuji Sengensha. This was done by Hojo Ujiyasu during the Sengoku period to solicit the Fuji Sengen Great Bodhisattva on Mt. Takao. During the national era, for those who could not go to Fuji from here due to the placement of enemy countries, Fuji Sengen Daibodhisattva was solicited to this Mt. Takao where they could see Mt. Fuji so that they could receive the same benefits without having to go to Mt. Fuji. I was glad that I was born in this peaceful era, that there were times when I could not live such a distance.

Chojagasaki (Hayama) in early summer with clear weather. It is a really relaxing place where you can see the quiet blue sea from a small hill with few people. If it's sunny, you can see Mt. Fuji over Sagami Bay, and the sunset is beautiful. Kamakura is famous and popular, but the Hayama side, which has such a peaceful seaside just one station away, is also recommended.

Kamakura's inner zashiki, Zuisenji Temple. In late December, the temple of autumn leaves is the slowest in the Kanto region. The fallen leaves piled up at the mountain gate are elegant.

Showa Kinen Park, which is the size of four Tokyo Domes, can be reached from JR Tachikawa Station. There are rental bicycles and bicycles for 2 people, and many people use bicycles on the large site. The park train is running, so even people who can't walk can go around. In addition to the barbecue pool, you can enjoy playing all day. Oka Cafe, which opened here last December, has a wonderful appearance. Using Tama lumber, I want to see the beauty of the wooden framing forever. The tip was covered with plastic. A café where you can enjoy pasta, sandwiches, soft-serve ice cream, etc. If you come to Tachikawa, please go out. Tamanori no Tama Walk#Tachikawa#Showa Kinen Park

Engakuji Temple in Kita-Kamakura at sunset. A moment enveloped in silence illuminated by the western sun at the end of autumn leaves.

Night view of Shibuya from a skyscraper. It is a superb spot with a 360-degree view and a view of Mt. Fuji in the clear daytime.

Okinoshima Island is located in Tateyama. The sky peeking out from the forest was very beautiful. Even in summer, it was cool with a lot of nature in the shade. The sky peeking out from there was blue, reminiscent of Ghibli.

A whale fossil was discovered in the Tama River 62 years ago. It is said to be a member of the gray whale, but it has its own characteristics and was named "Axima whale". At "Akishimaensis" near Akishima Station on the Ome Line, when you enter the museum, you will see a replica of a whale overhead. If you look at your feet, you can see how big the whale is. Why don't you go and meet the only one Aximachala that has been found in the world? #Tamanori no Tama Walk #Travel #Photo Contest

Sunset from Lake Oku-Nikko Chuzenji, Tochigi A superb view that can be seen at dusk at this time Bright red sunset clouds It's like it's on fire. I forgot about the cold and fell in love with it. A place where you can come again and again

#Takaosan Yakuo-in In the midst of the beautiful torii gate and the surrounding greenery, the statues of children look at the scenery below comfortably. Just looking at this staircase made me want to stay here forever, and it was so powerful that I felt good. In this inner Yakuoin, there is that tengu-sama that everyone has seen ^ ^

[English/Japanese] The other day I bought a French pastry called "Galette des Rois" at "Patisserie Tatsuya Sasaki" just a 4 minute walk from Nishi Hachioji! It is famous in France as a cake eaten on January 6. The cake is not only delicious but also enjoyable, as there is a ceramic doll inside the cake and the person who wins it can become a king. What do you do on New Year's in your country? Most of our international students have their New Year's in February or April! They have a very lively time, eating the country's traditional food and having festivals. When a new year starts, you will feel renewed ?We wish you all a happy new year!

red spider liliies of Nogawa Park. Even in big cities, there was nature.

The scenery changes even more from the entrance of the sanctuary of Mt. Takao, Joshinmon. Joshinmon is a torii gate in the form of "Ryobe torii". Mt. Takao Yakuoin is a temple, but there is a torii gate and other Shinto-Buddhist customs. In the past, shrines and temples were not separated, so I think that Mt. Takao is not something special, but that this is what it should be. In the Shinhendo Hall near the Jōshinmon Gate, the Great Bodhisattva (Performer) is enshrined. If you walk a little past the Shinhendo Hall, you will find "Otokozaka" and "Onnasaka". Onnozaka is gentle, but men's slope has 108 steps. 108 is the number of disturbing emotions. The cliff in front of Otosaka was very tasteful. The mountains are beautiful everywhere, and no matter where you cut them, they become picturesque. I love you, Mt. Takao!

Looking at the sea from the observation deck of Kasai Rinkai Park. The green grass in the foreground is a plateau, and the blue ocean spreads out in the distance, and the view is superb.

A young woman is happily strolling through the yellow cosmos that bloomed on the flower hill of Showa Park.

#When you climb up the Otokozaka slope of the Mt. Takao Mountain Trail No. 1, you will find a white #Agogue gate with the word "suffering" expressing it. It was in the back of this that there was one of the best power spots on Mt. Takao. It was written on the sign to walk along the Three Cs road while trying to erase disturbing emotions. After passing through the Three Cs Road, you will see beautiful white buildings. This is a stupa that contains the bones of Buddha #stupa. Since it was sent by the royal family of Thailand, I am convinced that it is such an exotic and beautiful structure. Just looking at Kannon-sama on both sides of the stupa is refreshing. On the left is #Childcare Kannon. Holding a baby like the Virgin Mary. This photo shows Mr. #Kannon who is standing on the right. Coupled with the camellia blooming behind (I went in April), its beauty stopped moving. If you want to climb it, please go through the gate of suffering, walk along the Three Cs Road, and meet the beautiful Kannon-sama.

Hello 2023 The New Year began anew while watching the first sunrise with dazzling light spreading in the clear sky. Urban scenery seen far from Hachioji I could clearly see the silhouette of the Skytree

#Statues of children everywhere on Mt. Takao It was so divine that I took a picture every time I saw it. #Sanroku Doji It is a genus of King Fudo Myō, and each one is said to have 10 million retinue. It is said that when the name of the Sanroku Doji is chanted, evil spirits dissipate, protect those who worship them from behind, and bring longevity. It's hard to remember all the names, but I did learn Wonder Doji and Hara Harado Doji (laughs). I hope I can learn everything slowly. I want to learn what kind of people they are.

It is said that Kukai visited and carved Benten-sama. It is housed in the Treasure Hall, and in the cave there is a statue of Renzaiten and a statue of the Sixteen Children. It is said that if you write a wish and dedicate a candle, your wish will come true. It was a fantastic and mysterious space that made me feel like I was going back in time.

[English/Japanese] Takaoyamaguchi Station, the entrance to the Takao Mountain climbing area, is lined with many restaurants. Tororo (grated yam) has long been eaten around Mt. Takao, and there are many restaurants where you can enjoy tororo cuisine. I ate grated yam on the way home from a recent excursion. Tororo has a soothing effect on a tired body. If you are tired after climbing a mountain, you should definitely try it. Takao-Yamaguchi Station, which is the entrance to Takao Mountaineering, is lined with many restaurants. Around Mt. Takao, tororo (grated yams) has been eaten for a long time, and there are many shops where you can eat toro dishes. I ate toro on the way back from an excursion I did the other day. Tororo has the effect of soothing a tired body. If you get tired from mountain climbing, please try it.

Early in the morning, it is the sunrise seen from Inbanuma in Chiba Prefecture. The wind was not blowing much, and the sky blue reflected on the surface of the water was very beautiful!
