I went to Seilon Green, a Sri Lankan restaurant five minutes on foot from Hachioji Station, tucked behind Don Quijote. The building itself has a very unique shape that many say resembles a Minecraft Nether Fortress. I tried kottu, a Sri Lankan casual dish. Kottu is made by stir-frying wheat-based noodles with vegetables. It was a bit spicier than other Hachioji restaurants I’ve tried before, so the sweetness and fizz of the ginger beer (a Sri Lankan soft drink) felt refreshing in my mouth. With more Sri Lankan students enrolling at our school, I’m really happy to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in Hachioji. When I told the students I’d eaten there, they were very pleased. I plan to try another dish next time. 😊

Happy New Year to everyone. The notices around the school now feature New Year greetings from various countries. Also, classes have resumed today, and we held a kakizome (first calligraphy of the year) session.

This year, I received a lot of osechi and have been in a food fight since the beginning of the year ... ^q^ And stable ozoni ♡

Went to relatives for New Year's greetings. It is a treat served for lunch. Everything was handmade. The taste was also outstanding.

We did a big school cleanup. The male students pulled weeds along the Chuo Line tracks and swept everything clean with brooms. The path looked very tidy and felt refreshing. The students often comment that Japanese streets are very clean. They also realized that someone usually cleans up for them and expressed a desire not to litter on the streets in their daily lives 😊

The other day, we visited the Tachikawa Disaster Prevention Center on a school field trip. At the center, we participated in a fire-extinguishing exercise and disaster-prevention experiences using VR. The facility had just been renovated, so it was clean and equipped with the latest gear, which made learning about disaster preparedness very enjoyable. A Mongolian student commented that their country should have facilities like this because there are many deaths from snow-related incidents. It really is important to be prepared for anything and to build knowledge about it!

Students from our school took part in an exchange event at an elementary school in Hachioji. They played together and studied together, and it sounds like they had a very fulfilling day 😊 Hachioji is a city with a strong network of volunteer helpers for international students. Why not come to Hachioji and learn Japanese together?

We recently held the entrance ceremony for students who enrolled in October. Fifteen new students joined us, and the school has become very lively. Everyone wore the traditional clothing of their country or ethnic group, creating a festive atmosphere. It was fascinating to see how outfits differed even among students from the same country!

Today I want to introduce Nunuya Pan, a bakery in Hachioji that has been around for more than 100 years. The shop is a two-minute walk from Hachioji Station. This is very personal, but my grandmother, who passed away at 99 two years ago, used to eat at this bakery when she was a child. According to her, she often ate anpan, and I bought anpan and three-meal bread myself. The breads were small and had a simple, nostalgic flavor. Many international students fall in love with Japanese bread and gain weight. Hachioji is home to many distinctive bakeries, from popular melon pan shops to traditional bakeries, each with its own character 😊✨

Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture Jizo of Kagagaike, Having chestnuts 🌰 offered, it became a piece that made me feel happy that the community is being protected and protected.

Let me introduce GinGin Main Branch, the ramen and tsukemen specialty shop located right in front of the school. Like the Hachioji ramen I mentioned earlier, their bowls are loaded with onions. When I visited, the restaurant was so popular with foreigners that I could hear languages other than Japanese inside. I've also heard that, being well known, the place has many celebrity regulars. Our school has dormitories on the upper floors, and students who got hooked on GinGin often said they went there often. It's lucky to have a delicious ramen shop right outside the school!

Today I will briefly introduce some of this school's distinctive features. In addition to using textbooks, the school offers several special classes. Extensive reading… The school has a time dedicated to extensive reading. By encountering and enjoying books in Japanese, students naturally improve their Japanese skills. Students also create promotional displays about the books they read and sometimes have them posted in local libraries. Philosophical dialogue… This class involves thinking and presenting in Japanese. Listening to other students' opinions broadens one’s perspective. Presentation contest… Students present on issues or the current situation in their home countries. Held once each semester with guest speakers from outside, this event is a large undertaking that typically requires about two months of preparation. All of the school's teachers have university-level teaching experience. Being able to experience academic-style lessons while attending a Japanese language school is one of the school's greatest strengths. Classroom visits and admissions consultations are available at any time. Please feel free to contact us.

Oi Shrine is the water god of the Oi River, and there is a kami pond with clear water in its precincts, and the pure water from an old well flows into the precincts. The water temperature is almost constant all year round, so it feels cold in summer and warm in winter. The first pond was built in the precincts of the shrine in 1915, about 100 years ago, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the relocation of Oi Shrine to the land of Shimada, and was built around the current parking lot on the side of the shrine office by the services of the veterans at that time. The current pond was moved to the center of the precincts in 1985 during the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Emperor Showa's accession to the throne, and it is more magnificent in size and scenery than the previous pond. Now it is indispensable in the precincts, and it is a beautiful water scenery of the water god.

Hello! This is Sapporo Excel Hotel Tokyu. This time, I would like to introduce the Sapporo streetcar. The Sapporo streetcar opened in 1918. The route trains that run through the center of Sapporo City are used by many people as a means of transportation for tourists and citizens. From the window of the leisurely streetcar, you can see the daily life of Sapporo citizens, which is a little different from sightseeing spots! In winter, you can see the "Sapporo White Illumination" from the inside of the car. The streetcar takes 55 minutes per lap, and you can get a great deal by using a one-day pass or a Dosanko Pass limited to weekends and holidays. You can also use transportation IC cards such as Suica, Kitaca, and PASMO! For a low price of 200 yen for adults and 100 yen for children, you can visit various sightseeing spots such as Mt. Moiwa, a scenic spot.

Summer is all about fireworks I first saw it in Tatebayashi a few years ago hand-held fireworks I was captivated by this brave figure.

Instead, there are many trees, flowers and the sea. The atmosphere was 😌 very comfortable. I couldn't interact with many people, but everyone was friendly and kind. I stayed at Monbetsu Prince Hotel 🏨. Every day when I leave after the internship, I say, "Thank you for your hard work." I was told. I was impressed. 🙇 ♀️😊 I feel like I'm coming home to myself. The charm of crest... It's not buzzing, it's not brilliant. There is a special charm of Monbetsu City. The tranquility and gentle scenery are 🍁 attractive.

It's been a long time since I updated. Today we decorated Tanabata 🎋. July 7th is Tanabata. I hope that there will be many wishes by then.

I found a lovely park today in Tokyo. It was called Kiba Park and it's located unsurprisingly just north of Kiba Station, just east of central Tokyo. The flowers were quite pretty. I considered getting an ice cream but decided against it. Perhaps next time

Photographed from near the boat racetrack near the Hakata Port Tower in Fukuoka. The feeling of the sky and the sky during the transition into the evening are indescribably wonderful. It became a scenery. Today I would like to write about the area around Hakata Port Tower. Hakata Port Tower is one of the symbols of Fukuoka City and is 123 meters high. From the observation deck of the tower, you can enjoy views of Hakata Bay and Fukuoka City. At night, the tower is lit up and very beautiful. There are many other attractions around Hakata Port Tower. For example, at the Hakata Port International Terminal, you can see international cruise ships arriving and departing. In addition, the Hakata Port Bridge is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Japan and is open to bicycles and pedestrians. From the Hakata Port Bridge, the contrast between the tower, the sea and the city can be seen beautifully. The area around Hakata Port Tower is a place where you can feel the charm of Fukuoka City. Please visit once!

This is a piece at Rakusuien in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The season when fresh greenery becomes beautiful... The greenery looks beautiful in these places. More about Fukuoka Rakusuien Fukuoka Rakusuien is one of the most beautiful gardens in Japan. This garden was built by Kuroda Nagamasa in the Edo period and has a history of about 300 years. Rakusuien is a strolling garden with ponds, waterfalls, bridges, tea houses, etc., so you can enjoy the natural atmosphere of the four seasons. Especially in spring, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, rape blossoms, etc. are in full bloom, and the scenery surrounded by colorful flowers is a masterpiece. Fukuoka Prefecture Rakusuien is a wonderful spot where you can experience the traditional garden culture of Japan.

Even though it was just June, the sunflowers 🌻 were 😆 in full bloom. This is my hometown and a secret spot 😊 for early-blooming sunflowers It was taken on Sunday evening, but there was no one and it was reserved.

By rules, I have to post pictures individually for the contest. But in real life, I would arrange all the Tower photos into one post. It was a challenge to photograph the Tokyo Tower from different locations in just one day, but it was the highlight of my trip. If you are prepared, I 180% would recommend this challenge.
