The popular anime, Delicious Party ♡ Pretty Cure, and collaboration events with Hatsune Miku are being held. The event "Jewelmination", which is currently attracting attention, is the world's first to express the color of a gemstone with LEDs, and you can enjoy vivid illumination. Period: Until Sunday, April 9 The collaboration between the fountain show "La Fontaine" held only for two days in winter and about 800 fireworks is a must-see. Highlights include images projected on the water screen from a huge 12-meter-high ring, 185 fountains, lasers and flames. And the fireworks in the winter sky are sure to impress. Date: Saturday, February 11 and Saturday, February 18 The collaboration show with fireworks is only for two days, but the fountain show is still being held after that, so you can't miss it.

[English/Japanese] The other day I had lunch at Hokkaido Soup Curry Workshop Seven West, a three-minute walk from Nishi Hachioji Station. I chose the mild curry, but it was surprisingly spicy and offered a complex blend of spices. The best part was the bone-in chicken, cooked until it fell apart at the slightest touch of chopsticks. Most of the students enrolled at our school come from Southeast Asia. Nearly every one of their countries has a version of “curry.” When I show them how to make Japanese home-style curry, they are surprised at how different it is from what they know. They are even more amazed to learn that, within Japan, there is another style called Hokkaido curry. The other day I had lunch at Hokkaido Soup Curry Workshop Seven West, a 3-minute walk from Nishi-Hachioji Station. I chose the sweet curry, but it was quite spicy and I could taste a variety of spices. The chicken on the bone, which was cooked so well that it fell apart when touched with chopsticks, was the best part. Most of the students enrolled in our school are from Southeast Asia. Almost all of them have "curry" in their countries. When I show the students how to make Japanese home-style curry, they are surprised at how different it is from their own country. And they are even more surprised when they learn that there is another type of curry in the same country, Hokkaido Curry!

The five-storied pagoda of Ueno park looks very beautiful in every season. Ueno park is one of the most popular spots that hardly need any recommendations yet I want to recommend it because sometimes in a rush we somehow overlook a few things or spots that's why this post. Amid the colorless nature, the red pagoda and flower-printed Japanese umbrella in front of it formed a strangely beautiful scene.
Although the pagoda is almost covered in flowers during the sakura season, once on a peony flower exhibition day when I went there I stopped after seeing such a sight.

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.

[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 will introduce "neko yaki" from a wagashi shop called "Nekoma" inside Soto Terrace, a spot for sharing Hachioji's traditional culture that I wrote about in my previous article. This wagashi is very delicious, with plenty of anko sweet bean paste inside. The cat face on this "neko yaki" is said to be modeled after a maneki-neko (beckoning cat figurine) that survived the Hachioji air raid. The maneki-neko is displayed at a shop near Soto Terrace. Hachioji has several sites and items related to the war. At our Japanese language school, we sometimes take up the Hachioji air raid in class. Why don't you try learning Japanese in a town with history?

[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 visited at night, so the atmosphere was very calm, but I was told it becomes very lively on holidays when events are held. There is a lovely shop where I bought cute sweets. I will report on the sweets I bought next time. Because Hachioji is an old town, there are many events and places that convey traditional culture. I think it’s a wonderful city for international students to learn about Japanese culture!

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 .

A place loved as a famous place for cherry blossoms and many people think of "Imperial Palace Chidorigafuchi" "Chiyoda-ku Noryo no Night" is a traditional Japanese "lantern flow" that began 1958 Showa 33 to heal the hearts of people who were devastated after the war. 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.
