What will you do, if you want to learn Japanese?

“I will enroll in a Japanese language class”

“I will do a self-study with learning materials on weekends, since I am working on weekdays”

“I will make friends with Japanese”

“I am just arrived here, so I have not an idea…what shall I do?”

 If your answer falls on any of the above, please knock on the door to “Shibakita Nihongo Club”. I am sure it helps your learning.

If you meet all the conditions above, you are eligible to donate your blood.

For novices at donating blood and has no idea how it would be like, I have visited Blood Donation Room marked with its mascot figure, “KENKETSU-Chan”. It is 30 seconds of walk from Kawaguchi station, East exit.

Do not forget to bring a photo-attached personal ID if it would be your first blood donation.

It is recommendable to book via App. for web members called Love Blood ※, to save your time and make registration easier.  献血Web会員サービス「ラブラッド」｜日本赤十字社 (kenketsu.jp)

Fill out the questionnaire with your weight, blood pressure, pulse frequency, etc. then wait for a doctor’s interview while you rehydrating. When the body gets terribly cold, it will get harder to find your veins.

Also, cold body temperature slows blood flow. So, you would better have something hot in the waiting room while waiting for your turn of blood donation. Feel free to have hot soups and beverages in the waiting room. They are all free.

After doctor confirms there is no problem with your blood, then, you are ready to start. A whole blood donation takes about 10 to 15 minutes. After you donate your blood, you will need to have a good rest at least half an hour in the waiting room. Rehydration is also important at this point. After given instructions on the day of blood donation, such as to avoid hard exercise and alcohol, etc. then you are free. 

“Saving Someone’s Life”, that is what the blood donation is.

I understand you are having days packed with schedule, however,

somehow find the time to open the door to the Blood Donation Room. Your kindness will save someone’s life. We all rely on your cooperation.

Class was filled with learners from different countries and different age groups, though the atmosphere is distinguishably cordial. They were all fervently learning Japanese in there.
