開智国際日本語学校(Kaichi International School of Japanese)
Aug. 1, 2022
[English/Japan] The other day, we held a summer festival as a school event. At that time, we went to Hiyoshi Hachioji Shrine, a five-minute walk from the school. The girls wore yukata and the boys wore happi coats from Okunitama Shrine. It was a very hot day, but the breeze through the shrine grounds felt very pleasant.

[English/Japanese] The rooster market at Otori Shrine in Hachioji. It is held every year in November. It takes about 8 minutes on foot from Hachioji Station to this Otori Shrine, but there were many festival stalls yatai on the street and it was very lively. Our school allows students to participate in traditional events held in the city as an off-campus learning opportunity. This shows the Tori no Ichi rooster market held at Otori Shrine in Hachioji. It takes place every November. Otori Shrine is about an eight-minute walk from Hachioji Station, and the streets were lined with many festival stalls (yatai), creating a lively atmosphere. Our school offers students the chance to take part in traditional city events as part of off-campus learning.

Princess firefly at Jomaru Shrine in Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture There are many spots to shoot fireflies in Tamba, but I had never seen many fireflies on the water and there were many other photographers, but I wanted to shoot in front of the waterfall, so I crossed the river alone and came closer, but on the way back, I groped in total darkness and couldn't use any lights, so it was difficult to turn back. And although I managed to get back to the way I came, I was bitten by a leech and bloodied.

Just some more photos to wrap up our trip to Nikko. I took a bunch of photos of different monuments and buildings that seemed important or had lavish decorations. I can't make out what the writing on the monument says but I can at least make out the kanji for heart 心. I also liked the golden palanquins inside the the building in the forth photo, although I'm not sure if they were used at some point or are simply for decoration. The other photos are from Futarasan Chugushi Shrine 二荒山中宮祠神社 located in front of Lake Chuzenji. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go inside the shrine but I was at least able to take some nice photos of the torii gate. Apparently it has a kagura hall as well and the entrance to Mt. Nantai is located inside the shrine as well. And finally, just an assortment of food that I haven't posted yet. All of it tasted great. It was definitely a trip I'm never going to forget!
