🌸Cherry blossoms in Tokyo have started falling. This weekend may be the last to see them in full blooming. However, the best season is coming in the northern area. If you want to chase them, check this forecast! 🌸#sakura

Although the Japanese government has announced that we no longer need to wear face masks except in certain places with risks.
However, many of us keep wearing them. Some are because of hay fever, but some are still aware of getting or spreading the infection.
SHOGA-YAKI (Pork Ginger): Stir-fried pork with onion (sometimes with some more vegetables) seasoned with ginger & soy sauce. Good with plain white rice. A typical menu at casual Japanese diners.

The extracurricular programme for this term was Mission Possible!
Students in a group visited various classrooms to complete their mission. Some need their knowledge or ideas of the Japanese language and some are simply fun games! Who completed all the missions?

Thank you to all students & teachers for kindly supporting the victims of the earthquake in Syria and Turkey. We have just forwarded your favour to the Japan Red Cross. The total amount of our donation was 48,347 JPY!
【For JCLI Students & Staff】Pray for Syria & Turkey.
Serious damages caused by an enormous earthquake struck the region on 6 Feb. Donation is the easiest support we can do right now. The donation box is placed at the school reception entrance and will be placed by 24 March.
Course completion ceremony today!
March is the end of the school year in Japan. Late March is the season for graduation ceremonies.
At JCLI Japanese Language School, we prepared a photo spot for the students. Messages from each teacher & staff are also placed nearby.🌸🌸🌸
Yakatabune Cruise: Dinner Cruise on a Traditional Boat.
Available throughout the year. But best passing under cherry blossoms. Quicky fully booked up every year of this season, need to rush if you are interested! https://t.co/3CxXkEurOb #gotokyo
SAKURA (cherry blossoms) in Tokyo, today, at a small park near the school. Must be blooming much more by tomorrow because of this summer-like weather. #VisitJapan
Students tried Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) in class. Writing letters with a brush soaked with ink was really different from doing it with a pen. But everyone did a great job, didn’t they? #JapaneseLanguageSchool#JapaneseCulture
SAKURA-MOCHI (Sakura Rice Cake): Seasonal sweets. Sakura-coloured rice cake (sweet bean paste inside) wrapped in a salted sakura leaf. Domyoji temple style in the west and Chomyoji temple style in the east. Both good. Enjoy the taste of Spring.🌸
JCLI Japanese Language School has got some dormitories only for our students. All are within walking distance or have easy access to the school.
If you would like to know more about them, just click the photos. You can see the details of each dormitory.

New Mask Rules Starting from 13 March in Japan.
But we ask the students and staff to keep wearing masks in the school within this term since we are here with various people, and some may have got that kind of risk. Thanks for your kind understanding and cooperation!
If you are not very confident about explaining your health conditions at a clinic or hospital in Japan, using this Multilingual Medical Questionnaire would be a good idea.

Hina-Matsuri, today!
A festival to pray for girls’ health and happiness. How to celebrate, display the dolls, what to eat, etc. are very different depending on the region. If you are interested, try to research various Hina-Matsuri!

Pay attention even if you are not interested. There will be traffic regulations on some streets. Check the details before going out to the city centre!
Spaghetti Napolitan (Neapolitan): Tomato ketchup-based sauce with onions, green peppers, bacon (or sausage). Japanese origin or maybe only in Japan. But why named so? Ranked the 24th of Worst Rated DISHES in the World. Been a lover of folks in Japan, though... #JapaneseFood
Japan's hay fever season is here!

The government has advised us that we do not have to wear a face mask at places not crowded from 13 Mar (for COVID-19). But I am sure that many people will keep wearing it because of this issue.
