[Englsih/日本語] We recently went on an excursion to the Takao Komagino Garden. It was a 15-minute walk from Takao Station. It was a very hot day, but there was a stream running along the way, which was very cool. It was very cool inside the Japanese house, and the students looked in wonder at the bonsai trees that were displayed in various places. I was amazed at the beauty of the dry landscape in the garden, and was fascinated by the beauty of Nishikigoi carp. The lotus flowers were in full bloom. The other day, we went on a school excursion to Komagino Garden in Takao. It was a 15-minute walk from Takao Station. Although it was a very hot day, a small stream ran along the route and felt refreshingly cool. The interior of the traditional Japanese house was pleasantly cool, and the students gazed in wonder at the bonsai displayed here and there. They were surprised by the exquisite dry landscape garden and captivated by the graceful Nishikigoi carp. The lotus were at their peak, in full bloom.

[English/日本語] Continuing from last week, I will talk about a crepe shop in Nishi-Hachioji. There is a crepe shop called Twin's Crepe just a one-minute walk from the school. The crepes here are so popular that they have been featured on TV many times. Each crepe is beautifully rolled in thin crepe batter and looks like a work of art. Of course, they taste wonderful. You can enjoy one as a reward for studying hard 😊✨ Continuing from last week, I will talk about a crepe shop in Nishi-Hachioji. A crepe shop called Twin's Crepe stands a one-minute walk from the school. This shop is so popular it has been introduced on TV several times.

Continuing from last week, here are some photos from Komagino Garden. The garden was magnificent.

This temple is known as a "moe temple" and has original anime characters created by the temple. It is said that many worshippers come to see this unusual temple.

[Englsih/Japanese] In Hachioji City, you can enjoy cuisines from around the world. The other day, I walked five minutes from Hachioji Station to Milis, a Sri Lankan restaurant, and tried Sri Lankan home cooking. The meal was a healthy, oil-free dish of rice topped with various curries and side dishes. It blended sweet, spicy, salty, sour, and bitter flavors in a way I had never experienced before, and it was very delicious. The presentation of the plate was especially beautiful and moved me. The staff were warm and welcoming ☕️Since our school sometimes communicates with Sri Lankan agents, I plan to ask them more about Sri Lankan food next time 😊.

In Hachioji City, you can try dishes from cuisines around the world. The other day, I had dal bhat at the Nepalese restaurant Naoya, a five-minute walk from school next to Hachioji Central Library. “Daal” means bean soup and “bhaat” means rice, so it’s like a Japanese set meal. Although Nepal is famous for curry, the dal bhat was not spicy at all and had a gentle flavor 😊 I was happy to finally try this dish, which a student introduced to me a few years ago ✨ For dessert, I tried ras malai (cottage cheese dumplings soaked in honey) for the first time and was surprised by how sweet it was!

[English/Japanese] The day before yesterday, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced that cherry blossoms had bloomed in Tokyo. In Japan, this time of year’s weather forecast reports not only temperatures and conditions but also the status of the cherry blossoms. Hanami, a traditional Japanese event, began 1,300 years ago and is popular with foreign tourists. In this issue, we introduce hanami etiquette. 1 The star of the show is the cherry blossoms Cherry blossom viewing means eating and drinking under the cherry trees. Cherry trees are very delicate. When you eat, do not place a sheet at the base of the cherry tree. The base of the tree is where it breathes, so place your sheet away from it. Also, do not break cherry branches just because their blossoms are beautiful. Cherry blossoms decompose easily. If you break a branch, you may have to pay a fine for damage to property. Please be careful. 2 Park rules During holidays at this time of year, the number of people viewing cherry blossoms in parks increases greatly. Some parks are lit up at night and become popular date spots. Each park has different rules, so check the park rules before going to hanami. For example, some parks prohibit bringing alcoholic beverages, while others forbid the use of fire. Also, be sure to take your trash home and clean up properly before you finish your hanami. Even though it is spring, nights can get very cold, so bring warm clothing. 3 Cherry blossom motif goods Hanami is not limited to parks. During this season, you will see many cherry blossom–inspired decorations around the city and in stores. At cafes, you can enjoy cherry blossom latte art and pink cakes. At general stores, you can find products printed with cherry blossoms. Because they are available only during this season, they are popular as souvenirs. Look for them! Hachioji, where our school is located, has many famous cherry blossom viewing spots. Some parks are lit up at night, so be sure to visit them! Tokyo announced two days ago that cherry blossoms had opened, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. In Japan, at this time of year the weather forecast reports not only temperature and weather but also the condition of the cherry blossoms. The traditional Japanese event hanami began 1,300 years ago and is popular with foreign tourists. This time, we introduce hanami manners. 1 The cherry blossoms are the main attraction Hanami means eating and drinking under the cherry trees. Cherry trees are very delicate. When eating, do not place a sheet at the tree’s base. The tree’s base is where it breathes. Lay your sheet away from it. Also, do not break branches just because the blossoms are beautiful. Cherry trees rot easily, and breaking a branch can be punished as property damage with a fine. Take care. 2 Park rules On holidays at this time of year, the number of people enjoying hanami in parks increases greatly. Some places are lit up at night and become popular date spots. Park rules differ, so always check a park’s rules before having hanami there. For example, some parks ban bringing alcohol, and others prohibit using fire. Also, take your trash home and clean up properly when you finish. Although it is spring, nights can be very cold, so don’t forget warm clothing. 3 Cherry-themed goods Hanami is not only in parks. In this season you can see many cherry blossom–themed decorations around town and in shops. At cafes, try cherry blossom latte art and pink cakes. At gift shops, you will find items printed with cherry blossoms. Because they are seasonal, they are popular as souvenirs. Please look for them.

Went to Hachioji over the weekend and had a blast exploring the area. We were able to check out the Musashi Imperial Mausoleum Emperor Taisho and Emperor Showa's Burial Sites, eat some amazing food at a restaurant called "Gonsuke" ごん助 and a bunch of other stuff. The Musashi Imperial Mausoleum was really amazing, it reminded me a lot of Meiji Jingu Shrine with the wide gravel paths through the forest, although I have a feeling this forest is natural and not man-made. Also the burial mounds seemed really traditional and reminded me of the burial mounds from the Kofun Period. The restaurant Gonsuke was so incredible. They had all sorts of different course menus and it was my first time trying boar meat too lol. I haven't had game meat in a long time so it was really cool getting to try it again and cook it over an irori I think it's an irori with actual coals. Can't wait to go back and explore the area again more. I'd love to hike up Mt. Takao and see everything else the area has to offer. Beautiful city

Things that Surprised International Students When They Came to Japan: Food For international students, the first challenge they face upon arriving in Japan is food. This article introduces Japanese food. What is this? Foods I saw for the first time in a Japanese supermarket 1. Mushrooms and seaweed A Mongolian student once asked me about mushrooms. Mongolian cuisine is mainly meat-based and they eat very few vegetables. In particular, they have no custom of eating mushrooms and was surprised to see mushrooms for the first time in Japan. Besides mushrooms, international students often ask about seaweed. That Mongolian student loved trying new things. After I showed her how to prepare mushrooms and seaweed, she lost 20 kilograms (about 44 lb) in one year. She gained confidence and now takes selfies every day. Lured by the smell… A tale of gaining weight because the food is too delicious. 1. Ramen Ramen is the thing male students most often get hooked on after arriving in Japan. Some who once said, "It's strange that Japanese people would wait in line just to eat," find themselves standing in those lines after six months. Many also stockpile cup ramen in their rooms because it's cheap and quick. However, some ramen broths are made with pork or beef, so if you cannot eat those for religious reasons, ask the shop staff. One of our students even called a cup-ramen company to check. Try to learn the kanji for pork and beef (豚, 牛) early on. 2. Bread By contrast, bread is what female students tend to get hooked on. Although Japan is famous for rice, its per-capita bread consumption is high by global standards. There are many bakeries in town, and people are often tempted to buy bread by the smell. Convenience stores sell a wide variety of breads at reasonable prices—often in the 100-yen range. Sweet buns and pastries are especially popular among female students, and I often see them eating these for breakfast and lunch. However, because they can be high in calories, some students say they have gained weight because of bread. Too expensive to buy! Beware of vitamin deficiency 1. Fruits Students from every country say in unison, "Fruit is expensive!" Because of this, they eat less fruit than they did at home, and many catch colds or suffer skin problems from vitamin deficiencies. For this reason, many students ask their families back home to send vitamin supplements. Consider including supplements on your packing list before coming to Japan. I hope this article helps you prepare for your arrival in Japan. By the way, our school has a supermarket a one-minute walk from the dormitory. Also, in Hachioji, where our school is located, you can find the famous Hachioji Ramen and a bakery that often has long lines. If you ever visit Hachioji, be sure to stop by!
