A 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station, we went to the Sri Lankan restaurant "Ceylon Green" behind Don Quijote. The building itself has a very unique shape, and many people are reminded of Minecraft's Nether Fortress. This time I ate a Sri Lankan B-grade gourmet called "Kottu". Kottu is a dish of noodles made of wheat flour with vegetables. It was a little spicy than other Hachioji restaurants I had eaten at before, so the sweetness and carbonation of ginger beer Sri Lankan juice was pleasant to the mouth. The number of Sri Lankan students has also increased at our school, so we are very happy to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in Hachioji. 😊 I'm going to try another dish.

We look forward to working with you again this year. Notices outside the school have become New Year's greetings from various countries. In addition, since classes will resume today, we also started writing.

Today, I would like to introduce you to Hachioji's super famous café "Papelburg". This café features an interior inspired by southern Germany, where you can enjoy delicious coffee and desserts. What I received this time is a seasonal parfait. This parfait not only has an artistic look, but also layers of jelly and cream that make the seasonal fruit even more delicious. The interior is designed by a professor from Tama Art University, and no matter which seat you sit in, you will find wonderful discoveries. You can take a bus from Hachioji Station. It's a little far from the station, but it was a café worth a visit!

We did a general cleaning at school. Male students pulled weeds along the tracks of the Central Line and swept them with brooms to clean them up. The road was very clean and it felt good. Students often talk about how beautiful the roads in Japan are. The students noticed that 😊 someone was cleaning up the house, and that they usually wanted to avoid throwing trash on the street

A new 100 yen ramen shop has opened on Kuwato Terrace, a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station, where the illumination is very beautiful. On the opening day, it was featured in the news and became a very hot topic. The students are also full of rumors. It's limited to 100 meals a day, so even if you go after school, it's sold out. I'd love to go there someday!

Students from our school participated in an exchange meeting at an elementary school in Hachioji City. It was a very fulfilling day playing and studying togetherHachioji 😊 City is a city full of international student volunteers. Why don't you learn Japanese together in Hachioji?

The other day, we held an entrance ceremony for students entering October. Fifteen new students joined the school, and the school was very lively, everyone was dressed in clothes from their own country and ethnicity, 😊 and it was very gorgeous. It was very interesting to see that the clothes are different even in the same country!

The other day, I went to Hachihaku with a group of new students. The official name of "Hachihaku" is "Kuwato Japan Heritage Center Hachioji Museum", and it is a museum where you can learn about the culture and history of Hachioji. At "Hachihaku", we had a car doll experience and weaving experience. Since it is located right in front of Hachioji Station, it seems to be very popular as a facility that you can easily go to.

Today, I would like to introduce "Fuya Bread", which has been in Hachioji for more than 100 years. This shop is a 2-minute walk from Hachioji station. It's a very personal story, but it's also the bakery where my grandmother, who passed away two years ago at the age of 99, used to eat when she was a child. My grandmother told me that she used to eat anpan a lot, so I bought anpan and three loaves of bread. The bread was small in size and had a very nostalgic earthy taste. There are so many international students who get addicted to Japanese bread and get fat. There are many 😊✨ unique shops such as popular melon bakeries and traditional bakeries in Hachioji.

I would like to introduce you to the "Ramen and Tsukemen Specialty Store Original Toshiratei Binbin Main Store" in front of the school. This is a ramen with plenty of onions, just like the Hachioji ramen I introduced earlier. Even when I visited, the store was so popular with foreigners that you could hear languages other than Japanese. Also, since it is a famous store, I have heard that there are many celebrity regulars. Our school has a dormitory on the upper floor of the school. Students who got stuck in "bottles" often said that they go to eat! You're ✨ lucky to have a delicious ramen shop in front of your school.

There was a halal food shop 1 minute walk from the school! It is very helpful because the students sell what they use in the countryI 😊 bought my favorite sweetsThe ✨ store was bright and clean, and the assortment was good.

Today, I would like to introduce a little about the characteristics of our school. Our school has some special classes other than using textbooks. Extensive... At our school, there is a reading time called "Extensive Reading". By interacting with Japanese books and enjoying them, you will naturally improve your Japanese language skills. They may also create pops about books they read extensively and post them at local libraries. Philosophical dialogue ... This is a class where students think in Japanese and make presentations in Japanese. Listening to other students' opinions broadens your horizons. Presentation competition... Present about the problems and current situation in your country. This event, which invites guests from outside and presents it once every six months, has become a major event, taking about two months to prepare. All of our faculty members have teaching experience at universities. It can be said that the biggest feature is that you can experience academic classes while at a Japanese language school. Class observation and entrance examination information are available at any time. Please feel free to contact us.

In the station building "Cereo Hachioji" of Hachioji station, there is a Vietnamese restaurant called "Jasmine Palace". Vietnamese food is "Pho", but this restaurant is not only where you can eat pho but also various rare Vietnamese dishes. In addition, most of the dishes are set menu, and it is attractive that you can enjoy various dishes little by little. I ordered banh mi Vietnamese sandwich and Vietnamese fried rice on this day. The tea is lotus tea, and the dessert chai Vietnamese zenzai? ✨ Vietnamese students who graduated from our school also 😊 used it from time to time Hachioji Recently, the number of restaurants in Southeast Asia has increased. The students are also very happy to be able to enjoy the taste of their hometown near the school!

There is "TAKAO 599 MUSEUM" on the road from Mt. Takao Station to the cable car platform. In this facility, you can see specimens of insects and creatures that live in the Mt. Takao. In addition, projection mapping is used once an hour to introduce the goodness of Mt. Takao. There is also a café where you can ☕ drink delicious coffee while looking at natureOur students and I have seen specimens, but the Sri Lankan students were very impressed 😊 that they had never had a chance to see it before Mt. Takao There are many rare creatures living there. I think it is a very good experience for students to study in such a place rich in nature.

Our students are guiding Mt. Takao as international volunteer students. It is a guide mainly for climbers from Europe and the United States. If you see one, please call out!

On this Saturday and Sunday, the "Dance Festival" will be held in front of the school. The shopping street is very busy for the first time in a long time, and the students are looking forward to 😊 it.

Mt. Fuji seen from the summit of Mt. Takao is also quite good 🗻.

Mt. Takao Yakuoin Omotesando Route 1

The point where vehicles pass each other at the halfway point 🚃 of Mt. Takao You can't shoot unless you're standing in the front row, so I guess I 🥹 was lucky on this day.

Mt. Takaosan Yakuoin's [Temizusha] was full of flowers. It was 😄 a production that made me feel a little cooler when I climbed in the hot weather.

I 🏔️ climbed Mt. Takao There are 🥹 small guys with festival specifications on the approach to Yakuo-in #Festivals #Photo Contest

A 5-minute walk from the school, Gallery Ichōnoki is holding a solo exhibition by the popular social media Bentensha Book Fair. It was very interesting to have a mysterious experience that I had never felt before, ✨and it is being held until August 27th social media, so if you are interested, please go there. 😊 It is very interesting from the perspective of international students. If I accumulate material someday, I will introduce it here!

August 4th ~ August 6th was the Hachioji Festival. On the last day, the 6th, students from our school volunteered at the Sri Lanka and Myanmar booths at the "Multicultural Coexistence Photo Exhibition" held at Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe. It was ✨ very fulfilling, with exhibitions of paintings and photographs, and experiences of playing musical instruments.

A fireworks display was held at Fujimori Park in Hachioji on July 29th! It was about a 15-minute walk from the school, so the students were able to see it up close, and they were 😊 all very impressed and sent us a lot of photos.

A 10-minute walk from the school, I bought tokoroten at a konjac shop founded in 1881 Meiji 14. Tokoroten is very cheap at 376 yen for 3 pieces, and you can buy it freshly. You can use a special stick to cut it into thin pieces on the spot, or you can buy a stick and go home. Since it was a big deal, I bought a stick this time and went home! It was my first experience making tokoroten and it was very interesting! And the taste was the best I've ever eaten. There was no smell, and it was delicious with a refreshing flavor. International students are often surprised that many Japanese foods use seaweed. Because it is healthy, some people get addicted. Please eat cold tokoroten and get through the hot summer.

For the first time in a long time Hachioji festival will be held! This year it will be August 4th~6th. The fireworks festival will take place in Fujimori Park on July 29. This fireworks can be seen 😊 from the school, and on August 6th, our students will volunteer to help with the multicultural coexistence booth. Please come and Hachioji!

As a field trip, I went to the "Kan Clean Center" that was just built in Hachioji last year. 15 minutes by bus from Takao Station. It is located in a green place. The facility is very clean and spacious, with modern systems for processing garbage. The facility information was available in various languages, so even foreigners could understand it. You can see trucks entering the facility and garbage being collected live. There were also separate quizzes, and the students were able to have a lot of fun learning.

Tanabata is coming soon. The signboard of Hachioji Station and the plaza in front of the station are also decorated for Tanabata. Our school also made Tanabata decorations. The ones we make will be decorated in collaboration with the ballet studio next door. Children attending ballet studios can read the wishes of international students, and students can learn what wishes Japanese children are making. It's a small thing, but it's a good opportunity to interact with the community.

In front of Hachioji Station, there is a shopping street called "U Road". This is a road where cars do not pass, so it is very good for walking. Ulord has frequent events. The photo shows the pottery market. This time, the Tanabata Festival will be held on holidays. On Saturdays and Sundays, there are events by Geiko, and you can experience Japanese culture, which is popular with students. The shops in the shopping street are also unique and very fun, so please come and visit us.

A classic way to spend your holidays. I took a walk around the local Mt. Takao in the morning and put my hands together to get rid of the evil at the Yakuo-in in the middle of the mountain.
