It is the Hozomon gate of the local Sensoji Temple, the five-storied pagoda, and the drooping cherry blossoms taken in the middle of the night. This drooping cherry blossom is famous and hangs from daytime to night, A lot of people come to take pictures and watch. That's why photos without people from this angle are very valuable (laughs).

The other day, I visited the Tachikawa Disaster Prevention Center on a field trip. At the Disaster Prevention Center, we had a fire extinguishing experience and a disaster prevention experience using VR. It was freshly renovated, the facilities were clean, and the equipment was the latest in stock, so I was able to learn about disaster prevention while having a lot of fun. A Mongolian student said, "There are many fatal accidents caused by snow in the country, so we should build such a facility." It's very important to be prepared for anything and to gain knowledge!
