Continuing from last week, here are some photos from Komagino Garden. The garden was magnificent. There was also a suikinkutsu (an underground hollow that causes the sound of falling water droplets to reverberate), which produced a very cool, refreshing sound.

Continuing from last week, we discuss Hachioji and subcultures.
We visited the famous Ryohoji Temple in Nishi-Hachioji. This temple is known as a "moe temple" and has original anime characters created by the temple. It is said that many worshippers come to see this unusual temple. I received another goshuin (red seal) this time!
moe = feelings of affection, often toward an idealized anime character

In Hachioji City, you can enjoy cuisines from around the world. The other day, I walked five minutes from Hachioji Station to Milis, a Sri Lankan restaurant, and tried Sri Lankan home cooking. The meal was a healthy, oil-free dish of rice topped with various curries and side dishes. It blended sweet, spicy, salty, sour, and bitter flavors in a way I had never experienced before, and it was very delicious. The presentation of the plate was especially beautiful and moved me. The staff were warm and welcoming ☕️Since our school sometimes communicates with Sri Lankan agents, I plan to ask them more about Sri Lankan food next time 😊.

It was a healthy oil-free dish with various curries and side dishes served over rice. The complex mix of sweet, spicy, salty, sour, and bitter flavors was something I had never tasted before, but it was very tasty ✨ Above all, the plate’s appearance was beautiful and impressive. The restaurant staff were warm in their service ☕️Since our school sometimes deals with Sri Lankan agents, I intend to ask more about Sri Lankan cuisine next time 😊.

In Hachioji City, you can try dishes from cuisines around the world. The other day, I had dal bhat at the Nepalese restaurant Naoya, a five-minute walk from school next to Hachioji Central Library. “Daal” means bean soup and “bhaat” means rice, so it’s like a Japanese set meal. Although Nepal is famous for curry, the dal bhat was not spicy at all and had a gentle flavor 😊 I was happy to finally try this dish, which a student introduced to me a few years ago ✨ For dessert, I tried ras malai (cottage cheese dumplings soaked in honey) for the first time and was surprised by how sweet it was!
In Hachioji City, you can eat dishes from all over the world. The other day, I ate dal bhat at the Nepalese restaurant Naoya, located a five-minute walk from school alongside Hachioji Central Library. Daal means bean soup and bhaat means rice, similar to a set meal in Japan. Nepal is known for its curries, but the dal bhat was not spicy at all and had a mild taste 😊 I was glad to finally eat this dish that a student introduced to me several years ago ✨ For dessert, I tried ras malai (cottage cheese dumplings dipped in syrup) for the first time and was surprised at how sweet it was (laughs).

May 5th is Children's Day. On Children's Day, people decorate the outside with fish called koinobori, or carp streamers. Koinobori are decorations that express wishes for children’s growth and success in life. The Asakawa River in Nishi-Hachioji is decorated with many koinobori carp streamers. The carp streamers flowing over the river are beautiful and very moving. It takes about 25 minutes to walk from the school, which is a bit far, but be sure to go and see them.
