Former Fukiya Elementary School - 1290-1 吹屋 成羽町 Takahashi

The old wooden school building, Fukiya Elementary School, which is a part of Fukiya Furusato Village, was under construction at the time of the visit, so only a distant view across the schoolyard and the ground was available.

It's a little off the streets of Fukiya It's a nice wooden school building, but I couldn't get close to it because it seemed to be under construction.

Scheduled to complete construction in March 4th year of Reiwa

Currently under construction to preserve cultural properties. I can't wait for the completion of the construction in March of the 4th year of Reiwa!

It was a very beautiful school building, although I visited during the cold season because of snow. Freeze the pool! !!
