[English/Japanese]
Mitsuhashi, a shop specializing in kanro natto (sweetened fermented soybeans), is a 15-minute walk from the school. Kanro natto is a Japanese sweet made by simmering beans in molasses and coating them with sugar. Mitsuhashi’s kanro natto is handcrafted with great care and has an elegant flavor. When I mention kanro natto to international students, they all react to the word “natto” and make disgusted faces. Many foreigners dislike natto, but when I explain it properly, they all say they would love to try it. Because many Southeast Asian countries have bean-based sweets, they find kanro natto intriguing. Kanro natto is not sold during midsummer, so if you’re curious, visit before summer arrives.
A 15-minute walk from the school brings you to Mitsuhashi, a specialty shop for kanro natto. Kanro natto is a wagashi made by simmering beans in molasses and sprinkling them with sugar. Mitsuhashi’s kanro natto is made very carefully and has a refined taste. When I tell international students about kanro natto, they respond to the word “natto” with unhappy faces. Many foreigners dislike natto, but if I explain it properly, everyone says they’d like to try it. Since Southeast Asia offers many bean sweets, kanro natto piques their interest. Kanro natto is not sold in the peak of summer, so if you are curious, try to go before summer.

[English/Japanese] There is a standing sushi bar in front of nishi hachioji station, a two-minute walk from the school. Its name is DARIME SUSHI. DARIME is written with the kanji for “forty-five.” They say it’s a secret word that sushi chefs understand. Standing soba is well known, but a standing sushi place is unusual. I went at lunchtime, and the customers were all women. Sushi is also popular with international students. Not only do they eat it, many choose sushi restaurants as their part-time jobs. As a result, they learn fish names before any other Japanese words. You’ll be surprised to find they know more about it than their teachers!

[English／日本語] Hachioji had a castle called Katakura Castle 500 years ago. Today, there is no castle, but there is a park that tells the history of the castle. This park is popular among tourists because of its beautiful katakuri (dogtooth violet) flowers in spring. The park is also decorated with statues. The statue in the photo became famous because a kingfisher once perched on its shoulder. Hachioji is not only rich in nature but also home to many historical sites. At school, before visiting such historical places, students take classes to learn about the history of Hachioji. Many students know the word "samurai" but do not know much about the deeper history of the city, so everyone listens intently to the lessons 😊.
