Tracing Memories of Mulberry and Post Town Along Late Autumn Alleys

In early November, ginkgo trees along the Koshu Highway begin to turn bright gold, and the breeze drifting from the Asakawa River carries the crisp scent of winter. In Hachioji—once known far and wide as the Mulberry City where spinning wheels hummed in every quarter—the spirit of artisans and the warm fragrance of freshly baked confections still animate the town. As we prepare for our regular publication, this pre-inaugural issue of the Mulberry Times quietly captures the unchanging warmth of our neighborhood amidst the seasons.
