Fuchu Local Forest Museum I didn't know there was a place nearby where such a red spider liliies was blooming. It seems to have increased the area of the red spider liliies. The "Manjusha Festival" is being held from September 9th.

Today I will briefly introduce some of this school's distinctive features. In addition to using textbooks, the school offers several special classes. Extensive reading… The school has a time dedicated to extensive reading. By encountering and enjoying books in Japanese, students naturally improve their Japanese skills. Students also create promotional displays about the books they read and sometimes have them posted in local libraries. Philosophical dialogue… This class involves thinking and presenting in Japanese. Listening to other students' opinions broadens one’s perspective. Presentation contest… Students present on issues or the current situation in their home countries. Held once each semester with guest speakers from outside, this event is a large undertaking that typically requires about two months of preparation. All of the school's teachers have university-level teaching experience. Being able to experience academic-style lessons while attending a Japanese language school is one of the school's greatest strengths. Classroom visits and admissions consultations are available at any time. Please feel free to contact us.

It seems that the red spider liliies everywhere is late because of the hot summer, but the red spider liliies of the Fuchu Local Forest Museum was in full bloom. This place is surprisingly empty and relaxing. The Manjusha Festival is also being held.

In the station building Celeo Hachioji at Hachioji Station, there is a Vietnamese restaurant called Jasmine Palace. When you think of Vietnamese food, you think of pho, but this restaurant serves not only pho but also many other uncommon Vietnamese dishes. Most meals come as set menus, so you can enjoy a variety of dishes in small portions. That day I ordered a banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) and Vietnamese fried rice. The tea was lotus tea, and the dessert included che (a Vietnamese sweet soup), which was very tasty ✨ Some of our school’s Vietnamese alumni also used to visit from time to time 😊 Recently, Hachioji has seen an increase in Southeast Asian restaurants. The students are very happy to be able to enjoy tastes of home near the school!

Senkusa Kannon-ji Temple has always been a popular temple. It is also almost a must-visit when visiting Tokyo. Ancient monastery with a history of thousands of years. A lot of small details are beautiful subjects for photography. I love this door button, quaint and textured.

From Takaosanguchi Station to the cable car boarding area, you will find TAKAO 599 MUSEUM. This facility displays insect specimens and taxidermy of creatures that live on Mt. Takao. Once every hour, a projection mapping show highlights what makes Mt. Takao special. A café on site lets you enjoy a good cup of coffee while gazing at nature. I once viewed the specimens with students from our school, and the students from Sri Lanka, who had never had the chance before, were deeply moved. Mt. Takao is home to many rare creatures. Studying in such a nature-rich setting is a valuable experience for students.

Tokyo's Kanda Mansei Bridge is a new scenic spot with a strong atmosphere of literature and art. The narrow space under the station has been cleverly transformed into a world suitable for exploration. Here, you can drink coffee and watch the scenery by the river in a daze.

Parthenon Tama I went to for the first time in a long time in the middle of summer The atmosphere like a temple was always good * '艸'* It was cloudy on this day, but I was able to take a picture of atmospheric clouds, which is ♡ good

Close-up of the shrine of the Asakusa Sansha Festival. Very delicate and gorgeous.

Students from our school are volunteering as guides on Mt. Takao. They mainly guide hikers from Europe and North America. If you see them, please feel free to say hello!

When visiting Tokyo, I happened to come across the Asakusa Sansha Festival. So leave this scene. Support for the gods, men, women and children, is very hard. It's really touching. I am honored to have the opportunity to come across such a festival.

This coming Saturday and Sunday, “Dance! Nishi-Hachi Summer Festival” will take place in front of the school. The shopping street is bustling with excitement for the festival’s first run in a long time, and the students are looking forward to it 😊

Mt. Fuji seen from the summit of Mt. Takao is also quite good 🗻.

Mt. Takao Yakuoin Omotesando Route 1

The point where vehicles pass each other at the halfway point 🚃 of Mt. Takao You can't shoot unless you're standing in the front row, so I guess I 🥹 was lucky on this day.

Mt. Takaosan Yakuoin's [Temizusha] was full of flowers. It was 😄 a production that made me feel a little cooler when I climbed in the hot weather.

I 🏔️ climbed Mt. Takao There are 🥹 small guys with festival specifications on the approach to Yakuo-in #Festivals #Photo Contest

A five-minute walk from the school, at Gallery Ichou no Ki, the popular SNS sensation Benten-sha Book Fair is holding a solo exhibition. I had a strange experience unlike anything before, and it was really interesting✨ The show runs until August 27th, so if you're interested, do go and see it😊 More and more students at the Japanese language school are becoming curious about things from Japan they saw on SNS! Their unique perspectives as international students are fascinating. Once I gather enough material, I'll introduce it here someday!

This is one of the photos taken at the Mitama Festival held at Yasukuni Shrine in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. The bearers and mikoshi were illuminated by the countless lanterns on the side of the approach, further enhancing the divinity.

The Hachioji Festival ran from August 4th to August 6th. On the final day, August 6th, our school’s students volunteered at the Sri Lanka and Myanmar booths during the “Multicultural Coexistence Photo Exhibition” held at Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe. The event offered a rich program, including painting and photography displays and hands-on musical instrument experiences✨

A 10-minute walk from the school, I bought tokoroten at a konnyaku shop founded in 1881. Three tokoroten cost just ¥376, and you can buy them fresh. They can be shaved thin on the spot with a special tsukibō, or you can buy the tsukibō to take home. Since it was a special occasion, I bought a tsukibō to bring back this time! Making tokoroten was my first experience and it was really fun. The taste was by far the best tokoroten I’ve ever had—no off-odor, with a refreshing flavor that was delicious. Exchange students are often surprised at how many Japanese foods use seaweed. Because it’s healthy, some people get hooked. Do try chilled tokoroten and beat the summer heat.

Sunny and warm summer days are best for outdoor activities and short trip to the flower fields. Sunflower farm is one of the best summer day spot for kids. They run around, get close with nature. Here two little kiddo enjoying their day trip at Kiyose Sunflower field during su flower festival.
