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.

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.

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.

Today, I would like to introduce the Indonesian restaurant "Kutabari Cafe", which is a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station. Our students often go there. You can enjoy authentic Indonesian cuisine. Students say that because it is halal food, they don't have to worry about anything when eating with their classmates. The spiciness of this dish can also be adjusted, so even people who don't like spicy foods can eat it. I thought 😊 the noodles were very tasty

A 15-minute walk from the school is a shrine related to Tokugawa Ieyasu's vassal "Okubo Nagayasu". Okubo Nagayasu is famous for creating the city of Hachioji, and it is said that it was also featured in Buratamori. Events related to Okubo Nagaan are frequently held here. It will also be held on June 17th, so if you are nearby, please go there. Since there are many historical buildings in Hachioji, we sometimes study history in class before visiting. Our school teaches not only about Japanese, but also about the region, about the history of the Japan.

I went to the "Mucha Exhibition" held at the "Dream Museum", which is a 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station. I visit the Dream Museum several times a year, but the Mucha exhibition had more male visitors than other exhibitions. I wonder if there are many men who want to do beauty paintings. I have seen the Mucha exhibition at other museums before, and although the scale is small, there are many famous works, and not only paintings but also those printed on the packages of sweets of the time were exhibited, and the content was substantial. I was also happy that it was possible to take pictures inside the museum. There are plenty of goods, and I bought a lot of them. This Hachioji Dream Museum can be viewed for free for junior high school students and younger. In addition, the annual passport is quite reasonable at 1400 yen. Hachioji is not only rich in nature, but you can also enjoy shopping and experience various cultures. Why don't you study Japanese in Hachioji?

A 1-minute walk from the school, there was an Asian food shop above the post office! Vegetables and frozen foods were also sold, and the inside of the store was large and very easy to see. I asked the shopkeeper for their recommended sweets. In the photo is Vietnamese soft candy. This soft candy is made with young glutinous rice. It has a slightly sweet and nostalgic taste. Many international students use such overseas grocery stores when they have just entered the country. Hachioji has many such shops in the city, so it can be said that it is a comfortable city for foreigners to live in.

[English/Japanese] Across the street from the amanatto sweet bean shop introduced previously is a public bathhouse that is famous in Hachioji. At the bathhouse, vegetables are sold unattended. At this sales place, rare vegetables from the Tama area are sold, and there is a wide variety of them, so it is fun just to look around 😊International students often take advantage of these unattended vegetable sales. The principal of our school also has a farm in Hachioji City, and he is often asked by foreigners to sell their produce. When I asked the students about it, they said it looks fresher and tastier than the ones sold in supermarkets. I encourage everyone to try these rare vegetables that can only be found in the Tama area. Across from the amanato shop I introduced earlier is a public bath that is famous in Hachioji.

[English/Japanese] This grocery store is located in front of Nishi-Hachioji Station. This store is currently closed, but there was a poster with messages of support from everyone. So it is a store loved by everyone. I felt very warm when I read it. There are many supermarkets in Nishi-Hachioji, but there are also small stores like this one. Students at our school also said that they sometimes use these small stores because they enjoy the communication that only a small store can provide. They said that when they live alone away from their country, just being able to call out to them makes them feel less sad. It is a greengrocer in front of Nishi Hachioji Station.

[English/Japanese] 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 store is "OLEALL☆". Their additive-free rice balls 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 is very popular among international students. They often buy it at convenience stores, but they often buy it without knowing what is in it. Most of the onigiri are delicious, so they buy them again and again. I heard that a rice ball shop with a signboard cat opened a 1-minute walk from Nishi Hachioji Station, so I went there.

[English/Japanese] There is a standing sushi restaurant in front of Nishi-Hachioji station, a 2-minute walk from the school. The name is "DARIME SUSHI. DARIME" is written "forty-five" in Chinese characters. It is said that it is a secret word that sushi chefs understand. Standing-only buckwheat noodles are famous, but sushi is rare. I went there at lunch time, but there were only female customers. Sushi is also popular among foreign students. Not only do they eat it, but there are so many students who choose sushi restaurants as their part-time job. Therefore, they learn the names of fish before any Japanese. You will be surprised that they know more about it than their teachers! A 2-minute walk from the school, there is a standing sushi restaurant in front of Nishi Hachioji station.

[English/Japanese] Mitsuhashi", a store specializing in natto sweetened fermented soybeans, is a 15-minute walk from the school. Kanro natto is a Japanese sweet made by boiling down beans in molasses and sprinkling sugar on them. Mitsubashi's natto is very carefully made and has an elegant taste. When I talked about natto to foreign students, they all reacted to the word "natto" and made a disgusted face. There are so many foreigners who do not like natto. But when I explain it properly, they all say they would love to try it. Since there are many bean snacks in Southeast Asia, they are interested in kanro natto. They don't sell kanro natto in midsummer, so if you are interested in kanro natto, please go there before summer. A 15-minute walk from the school is Mitsubashi, a honeydew natto specialty store. Honeydew natto is a Japanese confectionery made by boiling beans in molasses and sprinkling them with sugar. Mitsubashi's honeydew natto was made very carefully and tasted elegant. When I talk to international students about honeydew natto, they react to the word "natto" and make disgusted faces. There are so many foreigners who don't like natto.

It seems that honeydew natto is not sold in midsummer, so if you are interested, please go there before summer.

[English] Hachioji had a castle called Katakura Castle 500 years ago. Today, there is no castle, but there is a park that tells the history of the castle. This park is popular among tourists because of its beautiful katakuris dogtooth violet flowers in spring. The park is also decorated with statues. The statue in the photo is famous because a kingfisher once perched on its shoulder. Hachioji is not only rich in nature, but also has many historical sites. At school, before visiting such historical places, students have classes to learn about the history of Hachioji. Many students know the word "samurai" but do not know much about the deeper history of the city, so everyone listens intently to what is being said 😊.

It is a 3-minute walk from Nishi-Hachioji Station, so it is very close to the school. I tried it for the first time the other day! It was a very tasty ramen with the sweetness of onion, just like "Hachioji Ramen". The international students at the Japanese language school like ramen very much. Some of the male students in particular eat ramen every day, and it is one of the reasons for their weight gain. By the way, many female students get fat from eating bread.

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.
