Hey y’all! 

To celebrate my 27th birthday, I went to Kyoto! More specifically, I went to Arashiyama for the first time. I’ve been to Kyoto at least 5 times, yet I had never been there! It was a truly stunning and mystical place. I swear it felt like a place right out of a Ghibli movie! I also ate a vegetarian meal at Tenryu-ji! It was delicious, but I still wish I there had been some a meat or fish with it. 

Anyways, I hope y’all are doing great and I’ll see y’all in class!

ハローズの小学生のレッスンではフォニックスを定期的に練習します。小学1年生から学年が上がるごとに特殊なものを学ぶ機会が増えます。学ぶ単語が難しくなり、英語の文章が長くなると英語を読むことが苦手になってしまう子がいますが、フォニックスの基礎的な知識を身に付け、少しずつ特殊なフォニックスに慣れることで読める英語はだんだんと増えていきます。今後も英語を読むことに自信を持ってもらえるように子どもたちと練習を積み重ねていきたいです。

くもり空や雨が続くと思えば次の日は日陰を探すほど日差しが強かったり、梅雨と夏が交互に来ているようなお天気ばかりです。

数日前、近くのショッピングセンターの飾りが七夕に変わり始めました。そのエリアはいつも季節やイベントを先取りした、大きくてとても素敵な飾りが設置されます。お買い物に行くたび、ほっこりとした気持ちにさせてくれます。

ハローズも夏のイベントに向けて準備が始まりました！早く皆さんにお伝えできるといいなと思っています。

毎年、この時期になるとサッカーの話題に触れているような気がします。

今年は冬にカタールでサッカー、ワールドカップが開かれます。

そして出場国がまもなくすべて決まります。

日本でも一時期組み合わせ抽選が話題になりましたね。

日本にとっては難しい国と当たるからだと思います。

でも強豪国と本気で対決するいい機会だとも思います。

早く冬にならないかな…と思うばかりです。

Up next on our tour around the Tokyo Disney Resort is a stop at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel!

Tokyo Disneyland Hotel is a luxury hotel at Tokyo Disney Resort just outside Tokyo Disneyland.

This hotel has features a Victorian theme, luxurious style, and is located just  a short walk from the most popular Disney theme park in the world. Rooms at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel start at around 30,000 yen or about 300 dollars per night, and go up depending upon the view, season, and number of guests staying in the room.

The lobby of the Tokyo Disneyland hotel is a tall, airy space that is similar to the Grand Floridian Hotel at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, USA.

I stayed in a Standard Superior Alcove Room (Park Grand View) which meant that it was a preferred park view room. and oh boy was there a view! Just take a look at this sunrise photo I got!

There is so much detail in this room. For starters take a look at the bathroom!  If you look closely, you’ll notice a ton of specialty Tokyo Disneyland Hotel-branded toiletries. And as with the MiraCosta, they will refill these amenities each day so make sure to pack them away so you get a few extras to take home!

Next up we will look at the bedroom itself. The room has two twin beds and an alcove bed which you can see over there on the right of the photo.

These rooms types tend to be on the 5th and 6th floors and afford a beautiful view of the Tokyo Disneyland Park. If you are enjoying a day resting in your room you can sit and watch as the monorail goes by. At night you might even be able to watch the fireworks!

Overall, Tokyo Disneyland Hotel is a great choice for those wanting to spend as much time at Tokyo Disneyland as possible. You just can not beat the 5 minute walk right into the park!  Even if it’s for one night I recommend staying here at least once!  As a fan of Disney, you will appreciate the detail that has gone in to every piece of the experience.
