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.
