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.

In the station building Celeo Hachioji at Hachioji Station, there is a Vietnamese restaurant called Jasmine Palace. When you think of Vietnamese food, you think of pho, but this restaurant serves not only pho but also many other uncommon Vietnamese dishes. Most meals come as set menus, so you can enjoy a variety of dishes in small portions. That day I ordered a banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) and Vietnamese fried rice. The tea was lotus tea, and the dessert included che (a Vietnamese sweet soup), which was very tasty ✨ Some of our school’s Vietnamese alumni also used to visit from time to time 😊 Recently, Hachioji has seen an increase in Southeast Asian restaurants. The students are very happy to be able to enjoy tastes of home near the school!

From Takaosanguchi Station to the cable car boarding area, you will find TAKAO 599 MUSEUM. This facility displays insect specimens and taxidermy of creatures that live on Mt. Takao. Once every hour, a projection mapping show highlights what makes Mt. Takao special. A café on site lets you enjoy a good cup of coffee while gazing at nature. I once viewed the specimens with students from our school, and the students from Sri Lanka, who had never had the chance before, were deeply moved. Mt. Takao is home to many rare creatures. Studying in such a nature-rich setting is a valuable experience for students.

A five-minute walk from the school, at Gallery Ichou no Ki, the popular SNS sensation Benten-sha Book Fair is holding a solo exhibition. I had a strange experience unlike anything before, and it was really interesting✨ The show runs until August 27th, so if you're interested, do go and see it😊 More and more students at the Japanese language school are becoming curious about things from Japan they saw on SNS! Their unique perspectives as international students are fascinating. Once I gather enough material, I'll introduce it here someday!

ID:3I went to see it on the last day yesterday!!!
Since it was the last day of the holiday, the gallery was so crowded that it was difficult to move.
I felt that when I had a solo exhibition of mystical works somewhere, I wanted to take my time to see them.

The Hachioji Festival ran from August 4th to August 6th. On the final day, August 6th, our school’s students volunteered at the Sri Lanka and Myanmar booths during the “Multicultural Coexistence Photo Exhibition” held at Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe. The event offered a rich program, including painting and photography displays and hands-on musical instrument experiences✨

On July 29th, a fireworks display took place at Fujimori Park in Hachioji! It’s about a 15-minute walk from school, so the students could watch up close. Everyone seemed deeply moved and sent lots of photos. 😊

A 10-minute walk from the school, I bought tokoroten at a konnyaku shop founded in 1881. Three tokoroten cost just ¥376, and you can buy them fresh. They can be shaved thin on the spot with a special tsukibō, or you can buy the tsukibō to take home. Since it was a special occasion, I bought a tsukibō to bring back this time! Making tokoroten was my first experience and it was really fun. The taste was by far the best tokoroten I’ve ever had—no off-odor, with a refreshing flavor that was delicious. Exchange students are often surprised at how many Japanese foods use seaweed. Because it’s healthy, some people get hooked. Do try chilled tokoroten and beat the summer heat.
