開智国際日本語学校(Kaichi International School of Japanese)
Aug. 22, 2023
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!

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.

For a field trip, we visited the newly opened “Kan Clean Center” in Hachioji last year. It’s a 15-minute bus ride from Takao Station and set in a lush, green area. The facility is very clean and spacious, using the latest systems to process waste. Facility information is available in multiple languages, making it easy for non-Japanese speakers to understand. Visitors can watch trucks enter the site and see how waste is collected up close. With activities like sorting quizzes, the students were able to learn while having a lot of fun.

Tanabata is almost here. Signs at Hachioji Station and the plaza in front of the station are already decorated for Tanabata. At our school, we also made Tanabata decorations. What we made will be displayed together with those from the neighboring ballet studio. Children who attend the ballet studio can read the wishes written by international students, and those students can learn what Japanese children are wishing for. It’s a small thing, but it has become a good opportunity for community exchange.

In front of Hachioji Station is a shopping street called Euro Road. Because no cars pass through here, it’s a great place for a stroll. Euro Road often hosts events. The photo shows a pottery market. On the next holiday, a Tanabata festival will be held there. On weekends you can sometimes see geiko performances and other events that let you experience Japanese culture, which makes the area popular with students. The shops along the street are quirky and fun, so do come and visit.
