Across the street from the school is Koujiya Hachioji, a shop specializing in rice koji. Rice koji is rice malt made by cultivating fungi on cooked rice, and it is used in many Japanese dishes. It was very cold in Hachioji today, so I ordered a hot rice koji smoothie. Its gentle sweetness warmed my chilled body and left me feeling refreshed. In Japan, both adults and children often drink amazake, made from rice malt, during winter. When I tell foreign students this, they are surprised and ask, "Children drink sake too?" Amazake is called “sake,” but some varieties contain no alcohol. Please give it a try.

The illuminations at Hachioji Station attracted people stopping to take photos and others meeting up. Although the school is at nearby Nishi-Hachioji Station, students often use Hachioji Station for part-time work.

This is a view of the ginkgo trees along Koshu Kaido, a one-minute walk from the school. Hachioji held the Ginkgo Festival over the weekend. Before the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, our school's students also participated as volunteer international students. The rows of ginkgo trees are at their peak now. Come and see them.
A one-minute walk from the school, this is the ginkgo tree avenue along Koshu Kaido. Hachioji held the “Ichou Festival” over the weekend.

A 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station, I bought a “Hachioji Castle Monaka” at the Japanese sweets shop Senshuen. In fact, there was a castle in Hachioji in the 16th century. This “Hachioji Castle Monaka” is a confection shaped like the castle that stood then. The monaka is filled with sweet red bean paste and was delicious 😊 By the way, Hachioji Castle no longer exists, but the site where the castle once stood is now a park. I would like to visit it with my students someday.
A 15-minute walk from Hachioji Station, I bought a “Hachioji Castle Monaka” at the wagashi shop Senshuen. Actually, there was a castle in Hachioji in the 16th century. This “Hachioji Castle Monaka” is a sweet shaped like the castle that stood at that time. The monaka is firmly filled with anko (a sweet paste made from beans) and was very tasty 😊 By the way, Hachioji Castle is no longer there, but the place where the castle used to be is now a park. I’d like to go there with my students someday.

I went to the rooster market in Hachioji with some of my students! There is an Otori Shrine about a five-minute walk from Hachioji Station. I was moved by the lucky, ornate decorations. The shopkeepers calling out auspicious phrases to customers who bought them felt like a slice of Japanese culture, and the students were very excited. On the way home, we bought the market specialty, kirisansho—rice cakes coated with a spice called sansho. They were delicious. There are two more rooster fairs to come. We hope you will visit the rooster market as well.
I went to the rooster market in Hachioji with my students! Otori Shrine sits about a five-minute walk from Hachioji Station. I was impressed by the auspicious and lavish decorations. The shopkeepers shouting good-luck calls to customers felt like authentic Japanese culture, and the students were thrilled. On the way home, we bought the market’s specialty, kirisansho (rice cakes dusted with a spice called sansho). It tasted very good. Two more rooster fairs remain. Please consider visiting the rooster market.

The photo shows Dorayaki from Dorayaki Specialty Shop Makana, a very popular spot in Hachioji. Dorayaki is known among international students as Doraemon's favorite food. This dorayaki was delicious, with fluffy batter and a gently sweet red bean paste 😊.

Cafe Kojika is a 10-minute walk from Hachioji Station. The interior of Cafe Kojika is decorated in a 1970s style, so you can enjoy a meal inside an old Japanese house. Most items cost a single coin, and they were very tasty 😊 My top recommendation is the cream soda. You can have a juice made in your favorite color. Many international students want to try a homestay. However, because of the coronavirus, they have no chance to do a homestay, so I recommend this kind of old-house cafe to such students.
A ten-minute walk from Hachioji Station, Cafe Kojika recreates a 1970s interior so you can dine in the atmosphere of an old Japanese home. Many menu items are priced at one coin, and the food was very good 😊 The cream soda is my number-one pick, and they will make a juice in whatever color you like. Many exchange students are eager to experience homestay life. But with the coronavirus preventing homestays, I suggest this sort of traditional house cafe to those students.

There is a shop called 'Hachimaru Station' inside Hachioji Station that sells products made in Hachioji. Hachioji has many local specialties, but since the city covers a wide area, it's nice to be able to purchase them easily at the station like this😊 "I didn't know these products existed!" Each visit brings a new discovery.

Stopped by Cerian, a confectionery shop a minute's walk from the school, and found the now rare "raccoon dog cake! I didn't hesitate to buy it 😊"Tanuki Cake" is a raccoon-shaped cake that became popular about 40 years ago, and it is even said to be an endangered species, as there are fewer and fewer stores making this cake these days. I was very impressed by how carefully the raccoon's face was made. The taste was very sweet, and my fatigue flew away ✨
When I stopped by Cerian, a western-style pastry shop one minute on foot from the school, I found the now-rare "tanuki cake"! I didn't hesitate to buy one 😊 The tanuki cake is a raccoon-dog-shaped cake that was popular about 40 years ago, and with fewer shops making it these days it’s even called an endangered species. I was moved by how carefully the tanuki's face was crafted. It was very sweet and chased my fatigue away ✨

There is a candy shop a two-minute walk from the school. A dagashi shop sells snacks for children. The sweets cost 10 yen, 20 yen, and other prices that kids can afford. The dagashi are illustrated with scenes from Momotaro (a Japanese folktale), images of maneki-neko (traditional beckoning cat ornaments), and festival happi coats, so visitors can learn about Japanese culture. The other day, during a break in class, I gave the students some dagashi as a gift and they were very happy. They especially loved the candies that crackled and popped in their mouths!
