We did a big school cleanup. The male students pulled weeds along the Chuo Line tracks and swept everything clean with brooms. The path looked very tidy and felt refreshing. The students often comment that Japanese streets are very clean. They also realized that someone usually cleans up for them and expressed a desire not to litter on the streets in their daily lives 😊

The other day, we visited the Tachikawa Disaster Prevention Center on a school field trip. At the center, we participated in a fire-extinguishing exercise and disaster-prevention experiences using VR. The facility had just been renovated, so it was clean and equipped with the latest gear, which made learning about disaster preparedness very enjoyable. A Mongolian student commented that their country should have facilities like this because there are many deaths from snow-related incidents. It really is important to be prepared for anything and to build knowledge about it!

A new 100-yen ramen shop has opened at Sonto Terrace, just a five-minute walk from Hachioji Station, where the illuminations are especially beautiful. The opening day drew media coverage and caused a big stir. Students are buzzing with rumors about it. Because it offers only 100 meals a day, it’s often sold out by the time school finishes. I hope to visit someday!

Students from our school took part in an exchange event at an elementary school in Hachioji. They played together and studied together, and it sounds like they had a very fulfilling day 😊 Hachioji is a city with a strong network of volunteer helpers for international students. Why not come to Hachioji and learn Japanese together?

We recently held the entrance ceremony for students who enrolled in October. Fifteen new students joined us, and the school has become very lively. Everyone wore the traditional clothing of their country or ethnic group, creating a festive atmosphere. It was fascinating to see how outfits differed even among students from the same country!

The other day I went to “Hachihaku” with a group of new students. The official name of Hachihaku is the Sōto Japan Heritage Center Hachioji Museum, a museum where you can learn about Hachioji’s culture and history. At Hachihaku we tried puppet theater and a weaving experience. Located right in front of Hachioji Station, it is said to be very popular as an easy-to-visit facility.

Today I want to introduce Nunuya Pan, a bakery in Hachioji that has been around for more than 100 years. The shop is a two-minute walk from Hachioji Station. This is very personal, but my grandmother, who passed away at 99 two years ago, used to eat at this bakery when she was a child. According to her, she often ate anpan, and I bought anpan and three-meal bread myself. The breads were small and had a simple, nostalgic flavor. Many international students fall in love with Japanese bread and gain weight. Hachioji is home to many distinctive bakeries, from popular melon pan shops to traditional bakeries, each with its own character 😊✨

Let me introduce GinGin Main Branch, the ramen and tsukemen specialty shop located right in front of the school. Like the Hachioji ramen I mentioned earlier, their bowls are loaded with onions. When I visited, the restaurant was so popular with foreigners that I could hear languages other than Japanese inside. I've also heard that, being well known, the place has many celebrity regulars. Our school has dormitories on the upper floors, and students who got hooked on GinGin often said they went there often. It's lucky to have a delicious ramen shop right outside the school!

A halal food shop opened a one-minute walk from the school! It’s very helpful because it sells items students use in their home countries. I also bought my favorite snacks. The shop is bright, clean, and well stocked.

Today I will briefly introduce some of this school's distinctive features. In addition to using textbooks, the school offers several special classes.
Extensive reading… The school has a time dedicated to extensive reading. By encountering and enjoying books in Japanese, students naturally improve their Japanese skills. Students also create promotional displays about the books they read and sometimes have them posted in local libraries.
Philosophical dialogue… This class involves thinking and presenting in Japanese. Listening to other students' opinions broadens one’s perspective.
Presentation contest… Students present on issues or the current situation in their home countries. Held once each semester with guest speakers from outside, this event is a large undertaking that typically requires about two months of preparation.
All of the school's teachers have university-level teaching experience. Being able to experience academic-style lessons while attending a Japanese language school is one of the school's greatest strengths. Classroom visits and admissions consultations are available at any time. Please feel free to contact us.
