It's the Devil's Banquet! Scary masks, bone plates, and shadowy staging. Yet the star is a little devil holding a spoon with a smile. Tonight only, fear becomes a feast. Photo location: home

Under the autumn sky, a small back runs with all its might. Cheering and smiles overflow at the once-a-year sports day. May this moment become an irreplaceable memory.

I climbed Mt. Mt. Takao on an excursion. The weather was very good and we could see Mount Fuji! The weather on Mt. Mt. Takao in March was good, but it was 💦 a little difficult for people with hay fever

Today is the Hina Festival. We also decorated the school with hanging chicks and dolls!

Shot in Ajigasawa Town, Aomori Prefecture, where there is snow

This year, too, we were able to have a fun Setsubun for mamemaki (bean throwing)! There are many wonderful events in Japan!

Speaking of events in Japan, Setsubun! This year, too, I chewed 😄 on the bean rolls and Eho-maki

We visited Hachioji City No. 5 Elementary School and had an exchange meeting with 2nd graders! We enjoyed fruit baskets and rock-paper-scissors cars. I also taught 😊 the children "Myanmar rock-paper-scissors"

We did Setsubun at school! We all made masks together, and mamemaki (bean throwing) ♪ had Gari a lot of fun.

Evacuation drills and AED training were held. During the evacuation drill, we went from the school to the entrance of Takuma High School and listened to the high school principal. It was the first time for the students to take an AED course, but they worked hard with their friends ⇒ "AED" ⇒ "calling" and "heart massage"!

Mie Prefecture　 Suzuka　 Inatomi Shrine Mr. Miyaji and Mr. Negi cheerfully called out. The weather was good, and it was a perfect camera day. When you look through the viewfinder, time flies by.

It's been a long time since I've posted. This is a photo of me when I went for a morning walk with my second daughter to a nearby shrine. By chance, I saw a figure holding a flower petal as a heart, so I involuntarily pointed the camera at it. Pampas grass becomes an overgrown landscape along the river. I thought this was the winter scenery of Japan, so I took a picture. It's hard to get rid of the fluffy feeling~

There is a new "Japanese" space in the school! It is a tapestry of tatami chairs and shoji style. Many students have never and tatami mats. I would like you to feel the Aroma of Igusa and the soft comfort of tatami mats.

We had a year-end party! It is very lively with dishes from all over the world. All of the dishes were delicious! It was a very fun day with an award ceremony for the school mark and a dance presentation.

We did a general cleaning of the school the other day! The roads at Nishi Hachioji Station were also cleaned by everyone. It looks like you're going to have a good start to the new year.

We went to Tama Zoological Park on an excursion! We will ✨ post the best shots taken by students

Autumn is my favorite season in Japan. This is because of this aesthetic view. Enjoying the autumn from ropeway is very good but the view of autumn with the ropeway is amazing. The autumn valey in Yuzawa kogen ski resort is one of the best place to enjoy the autumn. Over the valley there is a ropeway service which looks like this image.

This is the Asakusa Samba Carnival held near Sensō-ji Temple, one of the famous samba carnival of Japan. It was really a beautiful experience. Very lively enjoyable performances.

This is the Scene of the "Dance Nishihachi Summer Festival" held in front of the school (Nishi Hachioji Station) the other day. Although it was small in scale, it was a very lively festival and the students said they enjoyed it very much. Nishi Hachioji also plans other festivals in November. Hachioji is a good city for international students to experience Japan culture directly!

Bathing in the sea with children and adults! Everyone was having fun!
