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 ♪.

[Englsih/日本語] Stopped by Cerian, a confectionery shop a minute's walk from the school, and found the now rare "raccoon dog cake! I didn't hesitate to buy it 😊"Tanuki Cake" is a raccoon-shaped cake that became popular about 40 years ago, and it is even said to be an endangered species, as there are fewer and fewer stores making this cake these days. I was very impressed by how carefully the raccoon's face was made. The taste was very sweet, and my fatigue flew away ✨ When I stopped by Cerian, a western-style pastry shop one minute on foot from the school, I found the now-rare "tanuki cake"! I didn't hesitate to buy one 😊 The tanuki cake is a raccoon-dog-shaped cake that was popular about 40 years ago, and with fewer shops making it these days it’s even called an endangered species. I was moved by how carefully the tanuki's face was crafted. It was very sweet and chased my fatigue away ✨

There is a candy shop a two-minute walk from the school. A dagashi shop sells snacks for children. The sweets cost 10 yen, 20 yen, and other prices that kids can afford. The dagashi are illustrated with scenes from Momotaro (a Japanese folktale), images of maneki-neko (traditional beckoning cat ornaments), and festival happi coats, so visitors can learn about Japanese culture. The other day, during a break in class, I gave the students some dagashi as a gift and they were very happy. They especially loved the candies that crackled and popped in their mouths!

[English/Japanese] Takohachiya is a grill shop. It sits next to Hachioji Central Library, about a six-minute walk from the school. This time I didn’t eat takoyaki but a takosen. Takosen are takoyaki sandwiched between octopus-flavored rice crackers, famous as a children’s snack in Osaka. There are many takoyaki stalls in Tokyo, but this was my first time seeing takosen sold here. The fluffy takoyaki tucked between crispy rice crackers was really delicious 😊Bangladeshi students reportedly do not eat seafood such as octopus or squid. Please be careful when recommending dishes to foreigners. Takoya “Takohachiya.” It is located alongside Hachioji Central Library, about six minutes from the school. What I ate this time was not takoyaki but “takosen.” “Takosen” are takoyaki sandwiched in octopus senbei, and they are famous as a snack for children in Osaka. There are many takoyaki shops in Tokyo, but this was the first time I had seen takosen being sold.

Today we're introducing Taihachi's taiyaki, famous for its size—so big that a single taiyaki can be a meal on its own. It's about a five-minute walk from Hachioji Station. Taiyaki is also very popular with visitors from abroad. Today we are introducing Taihachi's taiyaki, famous for its size. One is big enough to replace a meal, so it's satisfyingly filling. It is located a five-minute walk away from Hachioji Station. Taiyaki is a sweet that many visitors from abroad also really enjoy.

Finally managed to visit Shinjuku Gyoen over the weekend Been meaning to go here for a while now and finally had the chance The park itself was quite large, it was a bit surprising how much space it actually takes up in the city. There were a lot of cool stone lanterns and other structures to see throughout the park as well. The Taiwan building was pretty interesting to learn about. Apparently it was donated to Japan in 1924 by Japanese people living in Taiwan. The sign outside mentioned that it was a nice place to feel the breeze and it wasn't a lie either. It felt really nice standing on the balcony overlooking the pond. The breeze came through perfectly. Unfortunately we didn't bring a blanket with us to the park but there were a lot of other people laying down on the grass and it looked like a nice place to have a picnic. We stopped at one of the rest areas and grabbed some drinks as well. I got a lemonade drink that was really refreshing and she got a café latte. We took a quick tour through the greenhouse at the end as well and it had a lot of cool plants inside. I found this flower with grey leaves that I thought was really cool looking. I definitely want to return during autumn to see how the park looks after the leaves change!

[English/Japanese ]The signboard at Hachioji Station changes its charming illustrations with the seasons. For example, March features the Doll Festival, June shows boots, August displays a festival scene, and so on. My favorite is the Setsubun design for February. I always look forward to seeing the next illustration. The signboard at Hachioji Station changes its cute illustrations with the seasons.

Visited Shibamata for the first time over the weekend. I'd been meaning to go for a while because it seemed like an interesting place to visit in Tokyo, but I just hadn't had the chance until now. It was a really nice place and I was surprised at how few people were there. There was a ton of shops lined up along the main street and the wooden buildings gave it a really nice atmosphere. I haven't seen Otoko wa Tsurai yo, but there were statues and posters of Tora-san everywhere, even inside shops and stuff. I guess I'll have to watch it some time when I have the chance. We ended up eating lunch at one of the restaurants along the main road and they had some Tora Miso Ramen so we decided to try it. It was pretty good and had a decent amount of vegetables in it as well, so moderately healthy for ramen I suppose. We also got some dessert at a cafe afterwards and she got some dango while I ordered an ice cream float. We also went to the nearby temple Shibamata Taishakuten 柴又帝釈天, or Daikyoji Temple and walked around the main temple grounds and also bought tickets to see the garden and the architecture inside the temple. The garden was really pretty and the walkway around it was quite nice to walk on. I really enjoyed viewing the inside of the temple as there was a ton of hand-carved panels depicting different scenes. There were descriptions below each of the panels that described them as well, and they were interesting to read. It seemed like they were all carved by different people but they were all highly skilled. When we were leaving we found a nice little shows style candy shop and we bought some snacks and played a round of pinball on one of the pinball machines inside the shop. Haven’t played pinball since I was a kid, was pretty nostalgic. If you're in Tokyo I definitely recommend giving this place a visit on the weekend.
