Hoshifuru Gakko Kumanoki

This small rural elementary school is a place where people can experience life in the countryside. Originally opening in 1874， it was a place of learning for countless children for 124 years until it closed.

The wooden schoolhouses， which are preserved just as they were， are still used today. Visitors can stay overnight at the school and cook their own meals in its outdoor cooking area or its classrooms."
