For a field trip, we visited the newly opened “Kan Clean Center” in Hachioji last year. It’s a 15-minute bus ride from Takao Station and set in a lush, green area. The facility is very clean and spacious, using the latest systems to process waste. Facility information is available in multiple languages, making it easy for non-Japanese speakers to understand. Visitors can watch trucks enter the site and see how waste is collected up close. With activities like sorting quizzes, the students were able to learn while having a lot of fun.

How to spend the holidays. Yamba Dam in Gunma Prefecture. The dam was planned 70 years ago and was just built in 2020 Reiwa 2. It is a tourist spot in Gunma.

Tanabata is almost here. Signs at Hachioji Station and the plaza in front of the station are already decorated for Tanabata. At our school, we also made Tanabata decorations. What we made will be displayed together with those from the neighboring ballet studio. Children who attend the ballet studio can read the wishes written by international students, and those students can learn what Japanese children are wishing for. It’s a small thing, but it has become a good opportunity for community exchange.

This is the storage room of Ushiku Chateau in Ibaraki. Even though I went here in the middle of summer, it was cool, especially in the underground storage. The exterior also looks like the times, and it is a place that I would like to visit again.

During the beautiful wisteria season, I decided to go to a certain flower park. I triumphantly straddled the motorcycle, but there was no sign of it arriving farther than I expected. At that time, as I proceeded to be drawn by the words "Great Wisteria in Tamaki Park" that appeared on the sign, a magnificent wisteria tree appeared, which was as good as the famous wisteria. I bought coffee and fried bread nearby, ate it while watching, immersed myself in the calm atmosphere of the surroundings, which is not found in large facilities, and went home satisfied that day.

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

In front of Hachioji Station is a shopping street called Euro Road. Because no cars pass through here, it’s a great place for a stroll. Euro Road often hosts events. The photo shows a pottery market. On the next holiday, a Tanabata festival will be held there. On weekends you can sometimes see geiko performances and other events that let you experience Japanese culture, which makes the area popular with students. The shops along the street are quirky and fun, so do come and visit.

Saitama Stadium 2002 in Saitama City is famous as the largest stadium dedicated to soccer in the East, and it shows a variety of wonderful scenery throughout the four seasons.

Today I’d like to introduce Kuta Bali Cafe, an Indonesian restaurant a five‑minute walk from Hachioji Station. Many of our students visit regularly. You can enjoy authentic Indonesian dishes there. Because the food is halal, students say it’s great for eating with classmates without any concerns. The spice level can be adjusted, so even those who don’t like spicy food can eat here. I found the noodles especially delicious 😊

A new sake brewery has opened a five-minute walk from Hachioji Station! They haven’t commercialized any products yet, but the brewery plans to build a shop and is expected to grow rapidly. It’s quite rare to find a sake brewery so close to the station in a bustling downtown area. For international students, this will be a great opportunity to learn about Japan’s traditional sake up close.

A 15-minute walk from the school stands a shrine associated with Tokugawa Ieyasu’s retainer, Nagayasu Okubo. Nagayasu Okubo is famous for helping to develop Hachioji, and he was even featured on the TV show Buratamori. The shrine frequently hosts events related to Nagayasu Okubo. One such event will take place on June 17, so if you live nearby, do consider visiting. Hachioji has many historic buildings, so we sometimes study history in class before going on tours. At our school, we teach not only Japanese but also about the local area and Japanese history.
