COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest PR
Nov. 24, 2022
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 "umestagram" post "Gotokuji Temple in Tokyo". It's a cute photo of the beckoning cats with simple expressions. Gotokuji Temple, which is related to Maneki-neko, is located in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo in the Kanto region. A long time ago, Naotaka Ii, the lord of the Hikone clan, was beckoned by a cat in the temple on his way home from falconry and went inside, and suddenly a thunderclap came. The episode that he was able to avoid difficulties thanks to the cat and also enjoyed talking with Kazuhisa is the origin of "Maneki Neko's Birthplace". In the wake of this, Godeji Temple was revived in the 10th year of Kanei 1633 with the support of Ii Naotaka. At Godeji Temple, the beckoning cat is called "Maneki Neko". In the "Shofukuden" in the precincts, various sizes of Shofuku cat children are dedicated, and the sight is breathtaking. At the shrine office, you will receive a red seal and an amulet and figurine of a Shofuku cat child, so how about a souvenir? At the café "Mahorodo Aozuki" in the vicinity, you can enjoy a menu related to Godeji Temple such as "Maneki Nekodora". Access is about a 10-minute walk from Gotokuji Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line, and about a 5-minute walk from Miyanosaka Station on the Tokyu Setagaya Line. There are many signs and figurines with cat motifs in front of the station and in the shopping street, and there are many highlights while going from the station to Gotokuji Temple.

[English/Japanese] This is a view of the ginkgo trees along Koshu Kaido, a one-minute walk from the school. Hachioji held the Ginkgo Festival over the weekend. Before the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, our school's students also participated as volunteer international students. The rows of ginkgo trees are at their peak now. Come and see them.

[English/Japanese] A 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station, I bought a “Hachioji Castle Monaka” at the Japanese sweets shop Senshuen. In fact, there was a castle in Hachioji in the 16th century. This “Hachioji Castle Monaka” is a confection shaped like the castle that stood then. The monaka is filled with sweet red bean paste and was delicious 😊 By the way, Hachioji Castle no longer exists, but the site where the castle once stood is now a park. I would like to visit it with my students someday. A 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station, I bought a “Hachioji Castle Monaka” at the wagashi shop Senshuen. Actually, there was a castle in Hachioji in the 16th century. This “Hachioji Castle Monaka” is a sweet shaped like the castle that stood at that time. The monaka is firmly filled with anko (a sweet paste made from beans) and was very tasty 😊 By the way, Hachioji Castle is no longer there, but the place where the castle used to be is now a park. I’d like to go there with my students someday.

I went to the rooster market in Hachioji with some of my students! There is an Otori Shrine about a five-minute walk from Hachioji Station. I was moved by the lucky, ornate decorations. The shopkeepers calling out auspicious phrases to customers who bought them felt like a slice of Japanese culture, and the students were very excited. On the way home, we bought the market specialty, kirisansho—rice cakes coated with a spice called sansho. They were delicious. There are two more rooster fairs to come. We hope you will visit the rooster market as well. I went to the rooster market in Hachioji with my students! Otori Shrine sits about a five-minute walk from Hachioji Station. I was impressed by the auspicious and lavish decorations. The shopkeepers shouting good-luck calls to customers felt like authentic Japanese culture, and the students were thrilled. On the way home, we bought the market’s specialty, kirisansho (rice cakes dusted with a spice called sansho). It tasted very good. Two more rooster fairs remain. Please consider visiting the rooster market.

[Englsih/日本語] Cafe Kojika is a 10-minute walk from Hachioji Station. The interior of Cafe Kojika is decorated in a 1970s style, so you can enjoy a meal inside an old Japanese house. Most items cost a single coin, and they were very tasty 😊 My top recommendation is the cream soda. You can have a juice made in your favorite color. Many international students want to try a homestay. However, because of the coronavirus, they have no chance to do a homestay, so I recommend this kind of old-house cafe to such students. A ten-minute walk from Hachioji Station, Cafe Kojika recreates a 1970s interior so you can dine in the atmosphere of an old Japanese home. Many menu items are priced at one coin, and the food was very good 😊 The cream soda is my number-one pick, and they will make a juice in whatever color you like. Many exchange students are eager to experience homestay life. But with the coronavirus preventing homestays, I suggest this sort of traditional house cafe to those students.

There is a shop called 'Hachimaru Station' inside Hachioji Station that sells products made in Hachioji. Hachioji has many local specialties, but since the city covers a wide area, it's nice to be able to purchase them easily at the station like this😊 "I didn't know these products existed!" Each visit brings a new discovery.

"Mushroom Exhibition" being held at Gallery ARTS RUSH in Daikanyama. Pulp Art Mushroom Lamp is exhibiting. This time, the DM was made a lamp 🍄✨ of Kinugasatake She is the queen of mushrooms that I have longed to make someday. Casa, dress, egg, part of the pattern. We carefully produced each part while thinking about how to make the pulp so that it has a texture. When I was strolling around the back of the atelier to take pictures, there was a crowd of mushrooms! The crowd was Bulbophyllum. When I saw it again the next day, they were all gone, but the impact was amazing, so I immediately tried to make it through trial and error. The mushroom exhibition will be until tomorrow, but you can enjoy the unique works of the artists. If you are in the vicinity, please feel free to take a look ♪.
