開智国際日本語学校(Kaichi International School of Japanese)

[English/Japanese] The Tokyo Metropolitan Government decided last week to apply priority measures to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, and Tokyo residents will refrain from activities for about three weeks. Since 2020, people have increasingly spent their days off at home as "stayhome" because of the new coronavirus. How do Japanese people spend their vacations? Let’s take a look together with aspects of Japanese culture. 1 Games Japanese games became popular worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, games where you build your own room or town and interact with friends, or games that have you run and stretch like in a gym, are especially popular. Board games have also moved online, expanding the possibilities for gaming. With the recent establishment of high schools focusing on e-sports in Japan, it is clear that games are becoming important cultural content. 2 Bath time Japanese people love soaking in the bathtub. Many travel to hot springs during long vacations, and those who gave up travel because of stayhome reportedly buy various bath salts to recreate a holiday feeling at home. As a result, some companies reportedly recorded their highest-ever sales of bath salts last year. Do people in your country use bath salts? I hope you will try them when you come to Japan. 3 Plastic models Have you heard of plastic models? Plastic models are figures made of plastic that you assemble and paint yourself. In Japan they have long been sold as children’s toys, but since the pandemic they have become popular with adults as well as children. Anime plastic models are especially popular. If you visit Japan someday, you might want to buy one as a souvenir. Extras A character became famous during the coronavirus pandemic: Amabie. Amabie has appeared in books for the past 150 years as a yokai that wards off epidemics. Before the coronavirus, Amabie was known only to a few yokai enthusiasts, but after the virus spread its recognition rose mainly through social media, and now most people in Japan know about it. In town you can see many products featuring Amabie’s image. Please try to look for them. Our school also offers online classes. Beyond regular lessons, we provide online yoga, online origami classes, and other enjoyable activities. If you are interested, contact us and we will explain the school via Zoom. Feel free to get in touch.

開智国際日本語学校(Kaichi International School of Japanese)
Jul. 12, 2021
[English/日本語] Things that Surprised International Students When They Came to Japan: Shops 1 For two consecutive weeks, I have been describing life in the city, and this time I would like to introduce the "shops" within it. Shops across Japan are known for their polite customer service, and customers themselves are famous for forming neat lines at the register. Here I will share, based on stories from our students, the kinds of troubles international students encounter when they come to Japan and do their shopping for the first time. Convenience stores are a bit expensive but convenient. Is this juice? Or is it alcohol? There are about 7,800 convenience stores in Tokyo. In other words, the city is full of convenience stores. Most are open 24 hours a day, so international students often say, "They’re convenient because they’re open even when I come home late from my part-time job," and "I don’t feel scared walking alone at night because the stores are well lit." When international students enter a convenience store for the first time, they are often surprised by the sheer number of products. Many tell us they’re impressed by the variety of drinks. However, there are many stories of people who bought what looked like a nicely packaged juice only to find it was alcohol. Because of such troubles, the kanji for "alcohol" is usually not taught at the beginner level, but at our school we teach it right after students arrive in the country. Please be careful. Do you buy too much? 100-yen stores Did you know there are stores where every item sells for 100 yen plus tax? Not as common as convenience stores, there are nearly 800 of these 100-yen shops in Tokyo. These stores, commonly called "100-yen shops," sell daily necessities like dishes and cleaning supplies, and even food. So when students begin living in Japan and need household items, they go to these 100-yen shops to buy them. Not only are the items cheap, but they also come in many designs, and once people visit a 100-yen shop they often end up returning again and again to buy things they don’t really need. I often hear stories of newly arrived students who have spent a lot of money at 100-yen shops. You need money until your part-time job starts, so shop carefully. A room full of stuffed animals! Be careful not to get too carried away at the game center. Like 100-yen shops, game arcades are places where people tend to spend a lot of money. Some study-abroad students get hooked on crane games and spend a lot on them. Before they know it, their rooms are covered in stuffed animals won from crane games. Because of this, students often end up throwing away the stuffed animals as trash when they move, crying because they have too much luggage. Life abroad is often lonely, and many students find comfort in stuffed animals. Enjoy them, but try not to collect too many. Have you learned about Japanese shops? We will continue introducing shops in the next article. By the way, our school has a convenience store and a 100-yen shop just a few meters from the student dormitory. Even if you’ve just arrived in Japan, you can quickly get everything you need. At first you can learn how to shop with a teacher, so you can start your new life with peace of mind. 留学生が日本に来て驚いたこと ~お店編①~ 2週連続で街の様子についてお伝えしてきましたが、今回はその街の中にある「お店」についてご紹介します。日本のお店はどこも接客が丁寧で、お客さん自身もレジで並ぶときにきれいな行列を作ることで有名です。ここでは留学生が初めて日本に来て買い物をするときにどんなトラブルを起こしてしまうか、本校の学生の話を元にみなさんにお伝えします。 少し高いけれど便利なコンビニ これはジュース?お酒? 東京にはコンビニが7800件ほどあります。つまり街の中はコンビニだらけ。ほとんどのコンビニが24時間営業なため、留学生からは、「深夜にアルバイトから帰ってきても開いているので、便利です。」や「夜一人で歩いていても明るいので怖くないです。」という話をよく聞きます。また、留学生が初めてコンビニに入ったときに商品の多さにとても驚くそうです。その中でも飲み物の多さに感動したという話をよく聞きます。しかし、きれいなパッケージのジュースだと思い買って帰ったら、お酒だったという話はとても多いです。このようなトラブルが多いため、普通「酒」という漢字は初級では学びませんが、本校では入国してすぐ教えるようにしています。みなさんも気をつけてくださいね。 ついつい買いすぎてしまう? 100円均一のお店 すべての商品が100円(+消費税)で買えるお店があるのをご存知ですか。コンビニほどではありませんが、この100円均一のお店も東京に800件近くあります。この100円均一のお店、通称「100円ショップ」は生活に必要なもの(食器や掃除用具など)や食品もあります。そのため、日本に住み始めて生活用品が必要になったとき、学生たちはこの100円ショップに買いに行きます。安いだけではなく、デザインも様々で一度100円ショップに行ってしまうと、何度も通って必要のないものまで買ってしまう人も多くいます。特に入国したての学生が100円ショップでお金を散財してしまった話をよく聞きます。アルバイトが始まるまではお金が必要なときです。買い物は慎重にしましょうね。 気がついたらぬいぐるみだらけの部屋に!ゲームセンターはまりすぎに注意。 100円ショップと同じように、ついついお金を使ってしまう「ゲームセンター」。その中でも「クレーンゲーム」にはまりすぎて、お金をたくさん使ってしまう留学生がいます。さらに、気がつくと部屋中がクレーンゲームのぬいぐるみだらけに。そのせいで学生たちは引っ越しの時に、荷物が多すぎて泣く泣くゴミとしてぬいぐるみを捨てることがよくあります。留学生活は孤独を感じることが多く、ぬいぐるみに癒されている学生も少なくありません。ぬいぐるみは増やしすぎないように楽しみましょうね。 日本のお店について知ることができましたか?次回も引き続きお店について紹介していく予定です。ちなみに、本校は学校(学生寮)から数メートルのところにコンビニと100円ショップがあります。入国したばかりでもすぐ必要なものが揃えることができます。買い物の仕方は最初は先生とすることができるので安心して新生活がスタートできますよ。
