Overview

The former Kamo Aosuna Elementary School building in Oga City, Akita Prefecture, is a wooden schoolhouse built in 1928 (Showa 3). Closed in 2001 due to depopulation, it's now a registered Important Cultural Property of Japan, meticulously preserved in its original condition. Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by the nostalgic scent of wood, offering a glimpse into school life during the Showa era. The classrooms still contain desks and chairs from that time, and chalk marks remain on the blackboards. A quiet stillness hangs in the hallways, almost as if you can hear the faint echoes of children's footsteps. The gymnasium, too, remains unchanged, with its wooden floor and steel frame speaking to a bygone era. The former Kamo Aosuna Elementary School, once brimming with the dreams and hopes of children, now stands in peaceful silence, offering visitors a chance to connect with cherished memories and warm feelings. Take your time in this tranquil space, reflecting on the past and imagining the lives of the children who once filled these halls.
