[English/Japanese] Hachioji is famous for Mt. Takao. Takao can be seen from the school. The other day I went up Mt. Takao on a school excursion. The autumn leaves were still in full bloom and the view from the lift was very nice. You can also enjoy the scenery on the way to the top of the mountain, including discovering a rare cedar tree. It was a beautiful day, so we could see Mt. I recommend visiting on weekdays when there are fewer people. Speaking of Hachioji, Mt. Takao is famous. Mt. Takao can also be seen from the school.

[English/Japanese] Across the street from the school is Koujiya Hachioji, a store specializing in rice koji. Rice koji is rice malt, which is made by propagating fungi on cooked rice, and is used in a variety of Japanese dishes. It was very cold in Hachioji today, so I ordered a rice koji smoothie (hot). The gentle sweetness made my cold body feel warm and refreshed. In Japan, both adults and children often drink amazake, which is made from rice malt, in winter. When I tell this story to foreign students, they are surprised and say, "Children drink sake, too? They are surprised. Amazake is sake, but some amazake is alcohol-free. Please give it a try.

Went to Shinjuku Gyoen again, this time to see the autumn leaves before the season ends. The park was as beautiful as I thought it would be. Some of the colors were so vibrant as well, it was really nice. The park was nice and quiet and while it was a bit chilly outside, it was a nice chance to get some fresh air. Been busy lately and haven’t been able to go out as much because of it, so this was a nice change of pace

Almost every spot from where Fujisan is visible seems picturesque to me whether it is my workplace or rooftop of my home or any tourist spot. I visited matsuda herb garden in last Spring and it was 1st trip to matsuda but this trip was unforgettable. The scenic beauty of mount fuji framed with cherry blossom looks so beautiful. It's was very picturesque and scenic spot.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce "umestagram" post "Gotokuji Temple in Tokyo". It's a cute photo of the beckoning cats with simple expressions. Gotokuji Temple, which is related to Maneki-neko, is located in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo in the Kanto region. A long time ago, Naotaka Ii, the lord of the Hikone clan, was beckoned by a cat in the temple on his way home from falconry and went inside, and suddenly a thunderclap came. The episode that he was able to avoid difficulties thanks to the cat and also enjoyed talking with Kazuhisa is the origin of "Maneki Neko's Birthplace". In the wake of this, Godeji Temple was revived in the 10th year of Kanei (1633) with the support of Ii Naotaka. At Godeji Temple, the beckoning cat is called "Maneki Neko". In the "Shofukuden" in the precincts, various sizes of Shofuku cat children are dedicated, and the sight is breathtaking. At the shrine office, you will receive a red seal and an amulet and figurine of a Shofuku cat child, so how about a souvenir? At the café "Mahorodo Aozuki" in the vicinity, you can enjoy a menu related to Godeji Temple such as "Maneki Nekodora". Access is about a 10-minute walk from Gotokuji Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line, and about a 5-minute walk from Miyanosaka Station on the Tokyu Setagaya Line. There are many signs and figurines with cat motifs in front of the station and in the shopping street, and there are many highlights while going from the station to Gotokuji Temple.

Ate lunch at Ueno Station today. I found a soba restaurant that looked good so I decided to eat there. It tasted delicious and the tempura was cooked perfectly!

[English/Japanese] A 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station, I bought a "Hachioji Castle Monaka" at the Japanese sweets shop Senshuen. In fact, there was a castle in Hachioji in the 16th century. This "Hachioji Castle Monaka" is a confectionary shaped like the castle that existed at that time. The monaka is filled with sweet bean paste and is very tasty ?By the way, Hachioji Castle is no longer there, but the place where the castle used to be is now a park. I would like to visit there with my students someday. A 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station, I bought "Hachioji Castle Monaka" at the Japanese confectionery shop Senshoen.

Up the Sky Tree and the autumn sky. I think that the scenery that you can't see without walking has more added value than just looking at it.
