Yama-no-eki Showa School

Subtle

Original Text

I was wondering if I could pay the entrance fee, so I quit at the entrance. I couldn't feel that nostalgic in the appearance. I thought I would go inside if I could eat school lunch as a meal, but I couldn't go inside because only the candy shop was open.

It's not a station, it's not a school.

Original Text

Is this closed school? It is a magnificent school building. Is depopulation progressing? The shopping street that was restored in such a building about 60 years ago. Cinemas, candy shops, barbers, toy shops, general stores, record stores, etc. It is not a station or a school. It is an exhibition where you can feel the strength of Japan, which is trying to recover from World War II and head for the period of high economic growth. There was also a statue of Kinjiro Ninomiya outside the school building.

it's a little remote.

Recently, when I stayed at Yukaen in Hanamaki Minami Onsen, I heard that there is such a facility about 10 minutes from the facility, so I stopped by. The facility uses the site of the closed Maeda Elementary School, and exhibits home appliances, musicians' photos, and other 々 items that were popular in the Showa period. It's a mountain station in Hanamaki City, but the items on display are common to all over the country, so if you have spent the Showa era, even locals can get sympathy.

Reuse of closed elementary schools

A retro building in Hanamaki Minami Onsenkyo. It is near lead hot springs. The closed elementary school is being reused, and the school building and gymnasium remain. The Showa shopping street is reproduced and you can enjoy the retro atmosphere. There is a charge for the tour and it costs 500 yen for adults.

I thought the admission fee was a little high, but when I entered, my nostalgia and childhood memories revived. I think Showa is irresistible nostalgic for the generation of youth.
