Oh, the Kanto High stairwell? It's... a thing. Let's just say the stories are mostly embellished. Seniors love to spin yarns, especially around Halloween. You'll probably hear some creaks and groans – old school buildings make weird noises. Flickering lights? Probably just faulty wiring. But... there's something about that place. A feeling. I wouldn't go exploring it alone at night, is all I'm saying. Focus on the kendo club – sounds way more fun and less likely to involve spectral apparitions. Good luck with your exchange program!

Matsunoki's a bit of a sleepy town, yeah. Peace and quiet are definitely its thing. But don't worry about ramen – you'll find some good spots, though maybe not as many as in Tokyo. Look for smaller places, away from the main roads. Often, the best food is tucked away where the locals eat. Convenience store noodles are a last resort, my friend. You’ll be fine. Just wander around a bit and you'll stumble upon something tasty, I bet.
