Early morning in the spring of Reiwa 5. Cherry on a thick trunk with twigs. The Marine Tower is over there.

[English/Japanese] This greengrocer sits in front of Nishi-Hachioji Station. The shop is currently closed, but a poster displayed there carried messages of support from many people. It is clearly loved by the community, and reading those messages warmed my heart. While Nishi-Hachioji has many supermarkets, it also has small shops like this one. Students at our school said they sometimes visit these small stores to enjoy the unique, friendly interactions they offer. Living alone far from home, they said, a simple greeting can ease feelings of loneliness. This is a greengrocer in front of nishi hachioji station.

Evolving unfinished zone "Mikan Shimokita" It seems to have opened in Coronavirus pandemic! I thought it was amazing that this concept was held up in an era where you don't know what's in the Coronavirus pandemic. It keeps evolving, so I guess it's an unfinished area.

Tokyo Rainbow Bridge One photo 📸 from the window of Yurikamome running over the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo I was able 😊 to take a mysterious photo before the curve. Similar photos continued 🙏 due to the arrangement of the gallery That's 🙏 it

From the window of Yurikamome, Tokyo Today, I took a picture of running through the station from the window of a 📸 Yurikamome in Tokyo

From the window of Yurikamome, Tokyo Today, I took a picture of running through the station from the window of a 📸 Yurikamome in Tokyo Today it is 😊 a horizontal composition I enjoyed it as if I was warping to the future!

It is a Gotokuji temple in Setagaya Ward. In spring, cherry blossoms are blooming. Since Gotokuji Temple is the birthplace of Maneki-neko, the shrine office sells Maneki-neko Maneki-neko. Gotokuji Temple in Setagaya Ward. Cherry blossoms are blooming in spring. Gotokuji Temple is the birthplace of the manekineko, so the shrine office sells manekineko.

[English／日本語] I heard that an onigiri shop with a signboard cat had opened a minute walk from nishi hachioji station, so I went there. The name of the shop is "OLEALL☆". Their additive-free, pesticide-free onigiri and brown rice chiffon cake were very delicious. Mikan, the cat manager, 19 years old!, was napping on the seat next to us! She was very cute😊Onigiri are very popular with international students. They often buy them at convenience stores, but they often purchase them without really knowing what is inside. Most onigiri are tasty, so they keep buying them again and again. I heard that an onigiri shop with a signboard cat had opened a one-minute walk from Nishi-Hachioji Station, so I went to check it out. The shop is called OLEALL☆.

She was adorable 😊 Onigiri are also very popular among international students. They often buy them at convenience stores, but many buy them without fully knowing what’s inside. Since most onigiri are tasty, they end up buying them again and again.

The other day I went to Haneda Airport Terminal 3 ^^ Since it was only an international flight, it was relatively quiet and easy to spend. There were many Japan photo spots and it was interesting.

Tokyo Rainbow Bridge Today, I took one photo 📸 with colorful illumination from the window of the Yurikamome car running over the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo. With an exposure of about 1 second, I was 😊 able to take a picture like an artistic futuristic space. If you go to Odaiba after 18 o'clock on weekdays, there are few passengers, so I think 😊 you can take pictures from the front. I was able to take various pictures, so please 🙏 stay with me for the remaining 3 photos.

I sandwiched 🙂🌸 the top and bottom of the reflection of Sensoji Temple with drooping cherry blossoms. I went there on a rainy day and it was the right answer. This is 😁 a photo taken while getting soaking wet. * Click the image to see the original vertical composition.

It is 😄🌸 a drooping cherry blossom of Hachioji Daikoji Temple It was a splendid 400-year-old tree, and it was ✨ nice to be lit up. While feeling the solemn style of the power spot, I took 📸 a picture while receiving the power. * Click the image to see the original vertical composition!

I found it when I 🤭 went to Shimokitazawa, which has many images of old clothes I thought the small theater would be nice!

This is a photo taken when I saw cherry blossoms in Tokyo. Every year at this time of year, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and it is a great place to see the cherry blossoms.

If you stop by after work, the lights will go out in 5 minutes, and there is a long line at this popular point ... So I stretched my back from behind + held up the camera high and took a picture 😅🌸 It was hectic, but I was satisfied 😁 because I held down the points and walked smoothly.

4/14 Fri at Shimokitazawa Mikan. For YZ SHIMOKITA COLLECTION, Y and Z decorations were lumpy! !️ The space where the event takes place is exciting 🤭.

This is Odaiba Seaside Park ◎ It is located in Odaiba, and you can also enter the sandy beach, so feel the wind at this time of spring when it is warm. It is recommended 🙆 ♀️✨ to walk on the sandy beach In the evening, I think you can see a very beautiful scenery like this photo! !!

It is a drooping cherry blossom at the Hinohara Village bus stop. It is a remote bus stop deep in the mountains, but it is surrounded by splendid drooping cherry blossoms in full bloom, making you feel as if you have wandered into another world. The retro atmosphere that Totoro seems to come out was ^_^ wonderful.

[English/Japanese] There is a standing sushi bar in front of nishi hachioji station, a two-minute walk from the school. Its name is DARIME SUSHI. DARIME is written with the kanji for “forty-five.” They say it’s a secret word that sushi chefs understand. Standing soba is well known, but a standing sushi place is unusual. I went at lunchtime, and the customers were all women. Sushi is also popular with international students. Not only do they eat it, many choose sushi restaurants as their part-time jobs. As a result, they learn fish names before any other Japanese words. You’ll be surprised to find they know more about it than their teachers!

At the public bath Eastland ♨️. It was my first time to go to a public bath here, but I was particular about the hot water, and the soft water was soft on my skin! !! It was an old-fashioned public bath!

Skytree @daylight.

Spring Kiseki Superb view seen after rain

Another interesting view of the Skytree, with a reflection.

Blossoms.

Tulip and baby blue eyes or nemophila can be seen together in Tokyo metropolitan Hibiya park. The multiple color flower looks very gorgeous. One must visit while they are in the nearby area.

Historic. Photogenic. Fantastic place to see and diverge into. Mesmerising. #Nagano #Mountainside #Village

By rules, I have to post pictures individually for the contest. But in real life, I would arrange all the Tower photos into one post. It was a challenge to photograph the Tokyo Tower from different locations in just one day, but it was the highlight of my trip. If you are prepared, I 180% would recommend this challenge.

I visited the temple at night, avoiding the morning crowd. It was cold, but the time was well spent. I enjoyed the atmosphere, which allowed me to think and create different shots. Beautiful city!

[English/Japanese] Mitsuhashi, a shop specializing in kanro natto (sweetened fermented soybeans), is a 15-minute walk from the school. Kanro natto is a Japanese sweet made by simmering beans in molasses and coating them with sugar. Mitsuhashi’s kanro natto is handcrafted with great care and has an elegant flavor. When I mention kanro natto to international students, they all react to the word “natto” and make disgusted faces. Many foreigners dislike natto, but when I explain it properly, they all say they would love to try it. Because many Southeast Asian countries have bean-based sweets, they find kanro natto intriguing. Kanro natto is not sold during midsummer, so if you’re curious, visit before summer arrives. A 15-minute walk from the school brings you to Mitsuhashi, a specialty shop for kanro natto. Kanro natto is a wagashi made by simmering beans in molasses and sprinkling them with sugar. Mitsuhashi’s kanro natto is made very carefully and has a refined taste. When I tell international students about kanro natto, they respond to the word “natto” with unhappy faces. Many foreigners dislike natto, but if I explain it properly, everyone says they’d like to try it. Since Southeast Asia offers many bean sweets, kanro natto piques their interest. Kanro natto is not sold in the peak of summer, so if you are curious, try to go before summer.

This year's biggest national park in Tokyo, Shinjuku Gyoen held a nighttime cherry blossom event which is quite unique and mesmerizing. Those who live near Tokyo must visit this event.
