In Hachioji City, you can eat dishes from all over the world's cuisines. The other day, I had Sri Lankan home cooking at "Milis," a Sri Lankan restaurant a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station. It is a healthy dish that doesn't use oil, and it consists of rice topped with various curries and side dishes. It was a complex combination of "sweet", "spicy", "salty", "sour", and "bitter", which I had never tasted before, but it was very delicious. The service at the restaurant was also warm ☕️I will ask more about Sri Lankan food next time since we sometimes communicate with Sri Lankan agents at our school 😊.
八王子市では世界の料理各国の料理を食べることができます。先日、八王子駅から歩いて5分、スリランカ料理のお店「ミリス」でスリランカ家庭料理を食べました。油を使わないヘルシーな料理で、ご飯の上にいろいろなカレーやおかずがのっています。「甘い」「辛い」「しょっぱい」「すっぱい」「苦い」が複雑に合わさっていて、食べたことがないでしたが、とてもおいしかったです✨また、お皿の何より見た目も美しくて感動しました。お店の方の接客もあたたかかったです☕️本校でもスリランカのエージェントさんとやりとりをすることがあるので、今度スリランカ料理について詳しく聞いてみようと思います😊

峰山高原星降るキャンプ場
この日は人も少なくベテランキャンパー様ばかりで、最近のテントはワンポールテントが多く
凄いオシャレで、我が家も欲しくなりました。
ただその前にもっと備品を集めたくて、昔と違い最近の物はコンパクトで持ち運びやすい物ばかりで、日々物欲が止まらず
カメラもお金かかるけどキャンプ道具も結構お金が... 😅
何もない時間でも家族で過ごす幸せな表情みてると、それだけで幸せになれる一時がそこにあり、これが人生においての財産なんだなと感じる時がそこにはあります

Summer is the best time to enjoy some water sports and sailing in ocean is one of my favourite. This picture was clicked during last summer when I took an adventure sea sailing at Otaru,Hokkaido.

Wanted to post this earlier this week, but better late than never I suppose.

Was walking around Arakawa and they were having a rose festival sort of event it seemed like. Over by Arakawa Amusement Park there was a little area set up with some stalls. I didn't get to check it out but it seemed like there were a lot of people there.

The amusement park was also open. I don't think I've seen it open for a while so it was nice to see people are able to visit it again. When I was passing the Arakawa tram I noticed there were tons of roses along the sides of the track that I'd never noticed before so I decided to snap this photo of the pink tram passing by with them.

Great way to enjoy the sakura season. I saw many people spent their day off on pleasure boats and enjoy the view of beautiful parks and garden near the river. At the same time few love to feed birds and fishes.
This picture was taken exactly that moment when a pleasure boat was floating near skytree and one family was feeding those seabirds and you can see the blooming sakura in the background too.

In Hachioji City, you can eat dishes from all over the world's cuisines.The other day, I had dal bhat at the Nepalese restaurant "Naoya", which is a five-minute walk from the school and is located alongside the Hachioji Central Library. "Daal" means bean soup and "bhaat" means rice, just like a set meal in Japan. Nepal is famous for its curry, but daalbhaat was not spicy at all, and had a gentle taste 😊I was glad to finally try this dish, which was introduced to me by a student a few years ago ✨I also tried Ras Malai cottage cheese dumplings dipped in honey for dessert for the first time, and was surprised at how sweet it was!
八王子市では世界の料理各国の料理を食べることができます。先日、学校から歩いて5分、八王子中央図書館の並びにあるネパール料理「奈央屋」さんで、ダルバート（दालभात）を食べました。ダルは豆のスープ、バートはご飯の意味で、日本の定食のようなものです。カレーで有名なネパールですが、ダルバートはまったく辛くなくやさしい味でした😊数年前に学生から紹介された料理なので、やっと食べられてうれしかったです✨デザートにラスマライ（ रस मलाई カッテージチーズの団子を蜜につけたもの）も初めて食べましたが、甘すぎてびっくりしました（笑）

Japan has a deep rooted cultural heritage and the ethnicities of this country is versatile and beautiful. When my foreigner friends wore those vibrant and gorgeous kimonos they got so much appreciation from the people around them that was overwhelming. And yes it was also my first hand experience as a photographer too.. On that day we enjoyed a lot.

日の出のゴールデンアワー
静岡県日本平で撮影したものです。久しぶりの早朝写真活動であり、真後ろに富士山があって、薄霧に加え、日の出に照らすゴールデンアワーが心を癒されました。

長野県南信地方にオープンした山の寺キャンプ場で撮影しました。ソロキャンプサイトに佇むテントと、焚き火の煙お新緑が太陽の光で照らされて幻想的でした。

Hachioji City has a market called the Hachioji General Wholesale Center. Here, you can find rare fish, etc. There is also a store specializing in halal foodstuffs, which is convenient for international students to shop. The school plans to visit this market as a field trip.
八王子市には「八王子総合卸売センター」という市場があります。ここには珍しい魚などが売っています。また、ハラル食材の専門店もあり、留学生が買い物をするのに便利です。本校では校外学習として訪れる予定です。

Went to Karuizawa for Golden Week!

We booked our shinkansen tickets well in advance so we were basically flipping a coin with the weather, but it still managed to be a really fun trip despite 2/3 days being rain.

We were able to do a lot of shopping at the outlet mall near the station and other places in the area on the first and third days when it rained so it worked out perfectly.

My girlfriend's friend was headed back home from Tokyo the same direction we were headed so she stayed one night with us and then we were able to all hang out and go shopping in Karuizawa for most of the day after which she hopped back on the shinkansen towards home.

The second day was really nice weather, despite being just a bit chilly, but it was still nice enough that we were able to rent some bicycles and ride around the area.
The place where we rented the bikes gave us a nice sightseeing route to go on and so we were able to see a bunch of different places and use our time effectively.

When we were headed into town we crossed a bridge and there was a nice view of Mt. Asama with a ton of fisherman fishing along the river below the bridge. It was a pretty cool sight. We even got to see someone catch a fish as well.

We obviously went to Shiraito Falls as well and it was really beautiful. There was a sign behind that described how the water took around 5 years to come out of the ground where the waterfall was or something to that effect as well. The path leading up the waterfall was quite neat as well, with the river running next to it and a giant fallen tree with more smaller waterfalls to go with it. There was also two wooden carvings of the characters from Demon Slayer 鬼滅の刃 which was interesting.

The food in the area was delicious as well. We were staying at a pension and we only had breakfast with our stay, so we ended up going to another pension where they had yakiniku and we got a pretty good price for a massive platter of food. I was so full at the end I'm not sure how I made it back to where we were staying for the night lol.

The third day we did some shopping up at Harunire Terrace ハルニレテラス and we kind of just relaxed in the area. It was a pretty trendy place surrounded by nature and there was a hot spring up the road as well. We wanted to go in the hot spring but there was a pretty long line so we decided to pass.

We ate dinner at one of the restaurants at the terrace and while all of the indoor seats were taken, we were able to get some outdoor seating.
It was cold out so I didn't think it would be a good idea, but they had some heaters outside and blankets and it was actually quite enjoyable.

Had a lot of fun and it was a really great place. We might travel there again during the summer when it's warmer as well or maybe in autumn when the leaves change color. I definitely recommend giving it a visit!
