A much less known place in Tokyo. Several tourist and local people usually visit Kama kura to see the great budha but unfortunately many of them don't know this great budha of Tokyo. This great budha of Tokyo is selected as one of the top 100 tourist spot in in new Tokyo. Additionally this is the 3rd largest bronze statue of budha in Japan. This is located in Akatsuka of Itabashi city. Almost no crowd but very well organized place. I highly recommend tourists to visit Tokyo daibutsu during their stay in Tokyo.

While the illumination of the cherry blossoms at night is canceled across the Coronavirus pandemic, the cherry blossoms of the Meguro River are illuminated by ordinary street lamps. It's a pity that there is no illumination, but I was able to reaffirm the beauty of the place.

[English／日本語] I would like to introduce "Nekoyaki" from a Japanese confectionery shop called "Nekoma," located in Soto Terrace, a spot promoting traditional culture in Hachioji that I wrote about in a previous article. This wagashi is very tasty, filled with lots of sweet bean paste. The cat face on this "Nekoyaki" is said to be modeled after a maneki-neko figurine that survived the Hachioji air raid. The maneki-neko is displayed in a shop near Soto Terrace. There are several places and objects in Hachioji related to the war. At our Japanese language school, we sometimes cover the Hachioji Air Raid in class. Why not come and study Japanese in a city with a rich history?

I felt bitterly cold in winter in Hibiya Park.

[English/Japanese] I visited Soto Terrace, a spot that opened last November to promote Hachioji’s traditional culture. It is a seven-minute walk from Hachioji Station. You reach it by passing through a narrow street in the hanamachi district. I visited at night, so it was very quiet, but I heard it gets lively with events on weekends and public holidays. There is a charming shop where I bought some cute sweets. I’ll report on those sweets next time. Hachioji is an old town with many events and places that preserve traditional culture. I think it’s a great city for international students to learn about Japanese culture! Last November, I went to Sōto Terrace, a spot that showcases Hachioji’s traditional culture. It is a seven-minute walk from Hachioji Station. You arrive by walking down a small street in the hanamachi area.

I think it’s a wonderful city for international students to learn about Japanese culture!

This time, we will introduce a post by "Abhi Sen"! The dignified winter scenery is an impressive photo. Meiji Jingu is a shrine located in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, where the 122nd Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken are enshrined. Many worshippers visit at the beginning of each year.

The cherry blossoms of the Meguro River are bathed in the western sun. Away from a tourist attraction A piece of quiet everyday life. The scattering is so beautiful that the surface of the water turns white.

I visited Meiji Jingu Shrine almost every season. Even in a densely populated city like Tokyo, there are very few places where you can see such beautiful seasonal changes. So it is an ideal place to visit any time of the year. This picture was taken during the snowfall and it looked absolutely surreal .

Autumn leaves illuminated in Showa Kinen Park. The ginkgo trees are famous Japan but the autumn leaves reflected in the pond in the garden are also beautiful.

[English/Japanese] To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the start of the railroad business, JR East is rolling out “Pokégenic,” a photogenic photo spot experience featuring various Pokémon at stations and Shinkansen stops across the JR East area. I found this photo spot in Hachioji! It’s so cute. By the way, the anime popular among our students is Doraemon. JR East is celebrating the 150th anniversary of rail service by introducing “Pokégenic,” photogenic photo spots where visitors can snap pictures with a range of Pokémon at stations and on the Shinkansen within the JR East area.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

#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 four-minute walk from Nishi Hachioji! It is well known in France as the cake eaten on January 6. The cake is not only delicious but also fun, since a small ceramic figurine is hidden inside and whoever finds it becomes king. What do you do for the New Year in your country? Most of our international students celebrate their New Year in February or April! They enjoy lively times, eating traditional foods from their countries and taking part in festivals. When a new year begins, you feel refreshed 😊 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

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 "Koichi Hakuchuu's post "Snow and Kaminarimon." The snowy landscape, large lanterns, and scenery of Nakamise Street are fantastic photos. Kaminarimon Kaminarimon is the main gate of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo. The official name is Furaijinmon, and it comes from the fact that the god of wind is on the right and the god of thunder is on the left side facing the gate. The large red lantern with the word "Kaminarimon" written on it in the center of the gate is 3.9 meters high, 3.3 meters wide, and weighs about 700 kg. It is a popular tourist spot as a symbol of Asakusa. Kaminarimon has a long history, and the first Kaminarimon was built in 941. After that, it was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, and the current Kaminarimon gate was rebuilt in 1960. From the end of Kaminarimon to the entrance of Sensoji Temple, "Nakamise Street" that runs for about 250 meters is popular with tourists for eating and gourmets! A variety of gourmet dishes such as fried buns, okaki, and kibidango are lined up, and the strawberry daifuku skewer with a love lottery at the manju restaurant "Kikusuido" has become a hot topic on SNS! You can enjoy strawberries, castella, and daifuku at once. The standard doll grill as a souvenir of Asakusa is also recommended in bite-sized pieces and easy to eat. ◆Kaminarimon 風雷神門◆ 【Address】〒111-0032 2-3-1 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo 【Access】 Tobu Skytree Line: 5-minute walk from Asakusa Station Tokyo Metro Ginza Line: 5-minute walk from Asakusa Station 【Parking Lot】Yes: Kaminarimon Underground Parking Lot, in front of Kaminarimon Be careful of crowds between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

#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.

Introducing a post by Kaichi International School of Japanese, the official account of Kaichi International Japanese Japanese School! It's a photo that looks delicious. The specialty of Mt. Takao is "Tororo soba noodles". Tororo is said to be good for recovering from fatigue because it is easy to digest and absorb and contains a lot of vitamins. There are many soba shops from the foot of Mt. Takao to the summit, and it is a popular spot for tourists. ◆Mt.

[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. Takaoyamaguchi Station, the gateway to Takao Mountain hiking, is lined with numerous eateries. Around Mt. Takao, people have eaten tororo (grated yam) for generations, and many restaurants serve tororo dishes. On my way home from a recent outing, I had tororo. It helps soothe a tired body. If you feel exhausted after a hike, be sure to give it a try.
