We recently went on an excursion to the Takao Komagino Garden. It was a 15-minute walk from Takao Station. It was a very hot day, but there was a stream running along the way, which was very cool. It was very cool inside the Japanese house, and the students looked in wonder at the bonsai trees that were displayed in various places. I was amazed at the beauty of the dry landscape in the garden, and was fascinated by the beauty of Nishikigoi carp. The lotus flowers were in full bloom.
先日、遠足で高尾駒木野庭園に行きました。高尾駅から徒歩15分。とても暑い日でしたが、道の途中で小川が流れていて、とても涼しげでした。日本家屋の中はとても涼しくて、ところどころに飾ってある盆栽を学生たちは不思議そうに眺めていました。学生たちは庭の枯山水のすばらしさにおどろき、錦鯉の美しさにうっとりしてました。ちょうど蓮が見ごろでした。

Continuing from last week, I will talk about a crepe shop in Nish- Hachioji. There is a crepe shop called "Twin's Crepe" just a minute walk from the school.The crepes here are so popular that they have been introduced on TV many times. The crepes are beautifully rolled in thin crepe dough and are a work of art. The taste is of course very good. You can eat them as a reward for studying hard😊✨
先週に引き続き、西八王子のクレープ屋さんについてお話をします。学校から徒歩1分のところに「ツインズクレープ」というクレープ屋さんがあります。ここのクレープはテレビに何度も紹介されるほどの人気店。薄いクレープ生地で美しく巻かれたクレープは芸術品と言っていいくらいです。味はもちろんとてもおいしいです。勉強をがんばったご褒美に食べてもいいですね😊✨

Nishi-Hachioji, where our school is located, is famous for its many delicious crepe shops. Among them, "Crepe Anne" opened in 1983 and has a long history and many fans. Most of the crepes are handmade. In autumn, you can enjoy eating while viewing the rows of gingko trees. Students who are tired of studying can refresh themselves with a sweet treat.
本校がある西八王子はおいしいクレープ屋が多いことでも有名です。中でも「クレープアン」は1983年にオープンしたお店で歴史があり、ファンも多くいます。クレープの中身はほとんどが手作りです。秋は銀杏並木を見ながら食べることができます。勉強につかれた学生たちもスイーツを食べてリフレッシュしているようです。
[Englsh/日本語]Continuing from last week, here are some photos from Komagino Garden. The garden was magnificent. There was also a suikinkutsu a device in which water droplets fall into a hollow created in the ground and reverberate the sound they make, which made a very cool sound.
先週に引き続き、駒木野庭園の写真です。庭園も見事でした。また、水琴窟(地中に作りだした空洞の中に水滴を落下させ、その際に発せられる音を反響させる仕掛け)もあり、とても涼しげな音を奏でていました。

Tanabata decorations appeared in front of Hachioji station. The strips of paper fluttering in the wind are very cool. We are also holding a Tanabata event at our school. Students write their wishes on tanzaku strips and do origami, and it is a popular event.

Continuing from last week, we discuss Hachioji and subcultures.
We visited the famous Ryohoji Temple in Nishi-Hachioji. This temple is known as a "moe temple" and has original anime characters from the temple. It is said that many worshippers come to visit this unusual temple. I got another Goshuin(red seal) this time!
moe=feelings of affection, often towards an ideal anime character
先週に引き続き、八王子とサブカルチャーの話。
西八王子で有名な「了法寺」を訪れました。このお寺は「萌え寺」と言われていて、お寺のオリジナルのアニメキャラクターがいます。この珍しいお寺を見に、多くの参拝者がやってくるそうです。今回も御朱印をもらってきました!
※萌え…アニメキャラクターをかわいいと思う気持ち
