Blog#5: My Hometown, Hachioji(Yuta Mizuma)

Hello, everyone! How do you do in your summer vacation? Today I'm going to tell you about my hometown, Hachioji city in Tokyo. Look at a picture below.

This stair is called "Otkozaka."

 

Hachioji is mainly known for Mt. Takao. In fact, more than 2,600,000 people visit there every year, and the number of them are highest of people who go to mountains. It's because Mt. Takao is near from the central town of Tokyo, so it is accessible. One of its other reasons is that it is easy for visitor to reach the top of that mountain. The height of Mt. Takao is 599 m.

Other what people know about Hachioji are two following things: some famous people are from my hometown and the city is often used for dramas or moveis' locations. The famous persons are pictures below.

 

One of Iapanes actors: Hidetoshi Nishijima

 

One of Japanese singers' group: Fanky Monky Babies

 

Hachioji is located in the west area of Tokyo, so we can go there easily. And, the city has much nature, being suitable for locations, I think. Sometimes I visit the places where dramas' locations have been done.

What are the interesting things  we can see? Of course one them is Mt. Takao. I've already told you what it is like. Something else is Hachioji castle. This castle is built by Ujiteru Hojo. This castle was one of important castles for Hojo family. In fact, the castle was used for military base. In 1590, Hideyoshi Toyotomi attacked Hojo and captured the castle. This was a main reason why Hojo was defeated in a battle called "Odawara zeme." A picture below is a bridge to Hachioji castle.

What I recommend you if you come to Hachioji are to visit Mt. Takao and Hachioji castle. You can feel how Hachioji is blessed with nature and know a part of Hachioji history. When will you come to my hometown? It is now:)
