Today, the Niu elementary school is abandoned, and the last year of activity was with the 1998 graduate. This small school hidden in the mountain, is surrounded by the beautiful nature of Nara. Even now, if you go to this school, you can still feel the atmosphere of the children who went there.
丹生小学校は、奈良の山深くにある自然に囲まれた学校です。1998年の卒業生を最後に廃校になりました。

おかげでごちそうさまでした
I visited the school alone, and all the door and the window were closed, but occasionally I was able to go inside. The interior was perfectly preserved, and was full of object and memory of the young students. The globe, some musical instruments, and the balls used in the athletic meet! All stuff that I used when I was a child, so was pretty emotional for me.
内部は荒らされていないので、小学生たちが使ったであろう思い出のものがたーくさん残っていました。地球儀、楽器に運動会の玉ころがし!自分が子供のころにも使っていたものばかりでワクワクしました!懐かしい!
