The other day, on a field trip, we visited Isonuma Milk Farm in Hachioji to tour the ranch and try milking cows! A student who grew up on a farm proudly showed off their milking skills. They chatted with the ranch staff about how cattle are raised in different countries. The drinkable yogurt was so delicious that I bought some as a souvenir.

We held an exchange event with elementary schools in Hachioji. We talked about each country and played games together, including tag. There was also a first-time school lunch experience. They said there is no school lunch in the countries (Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal). They said it was very delicious ✨

I visited the Muttoni World exhibition at Yumemuseum, a 20-minute walk from Hachioji Station. This is an exhibition I love so much it was my third visit. The Muttoni World exhibition features many mechanical music boxes, each offering a five- to twenty-minute sequence. When I finished seeing everything, more than two hours had passed, and I felt as if I had been inside a dream the whole time. Seeing is believing! Admission is free for children up to junior high school, 750 yen for adults, and 350 yen for those 65 and older. Do go and see it—you’ll love it!

We held a Setsubun event. The students made oni masks, and each one showed a unique personality! There were traditional Japanese oni and oni from other countries. Which oni do you think is the scariest?

Have you heard of Myanmar rock-paper-scissors? In Myanmar’s version, players compete as the Tiger, the Police, or the Gun. The Tiger beats the Police but loses to the Gun. The Police lose to the Tiger but beat the Gun (because they can control it). The Gun loses to the Police but beats the Tiger. That’s the power relationship! 🐯👮♀️🔫 The photo on the left shows the Police pose, and the right shows the Tiger pose.
At our school, students from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Mongolia study together. The students get along very well across nationalities and show mutual respect for each other’s cultures 😊 They chat in Japanese in class, so their conversation skills improve.

I went to Seilon Green, a Sri Lankan restaurant five minutes on foot from Hachioji Station, tucked behind Don Quijote. The building itself has a very unique shape that many say resembles a Minecraft Nether Fortress. I tried kottu, a Sri Lankan casual dish. Kottu is made by stir-frying wheat-based noodles with vegetables. It was a bit spicier than other Hachioji restaurants I’ve tried before, so the sweetness and fizz of the ginger beer (a Sri Lankan soft drink) felt refreshing in my mouth. With more Sri Lankan students enrolling at our school, I’m really happy to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in Hachioji. When I told the students I’d eaten there, they were very pleased. I plan to try another dish next time. 😊

Happy New Year to everyone. The notices around the school now feature New Year greetings from various countries. Also, classes have resumed today, and we held a kakizome (first calligraphy of the year) session.

Today I’m introducing Papperburg, a very famous café in Hachioji. The café features interior design inspired by southern Germany and offers delicious coffee and desserts. I had the seasonal parfait this time. Beyond its artistic appearance, the parfait’s multiple layers of jelly and cream enhance the flavor of the seasonal fruits. A professor from Tama Art University designed the interior, so you’ll find lovely details no matter where you sit. You can take a bus from Hachioji Station. It’s a bit far from the station, but it’s a café worth visiting at least once!
