Scenes from the Previous Tour
Here are some scenes from the “Old School Building Tour” held on February 11 and 12, 2022.
This is in front of the staff room in the west building. This area is still there today.
This is the former school shop. It no longer exists.
Kawaragi Junior High School’s old uniform. Visitors were able to try it on at the time.
An alumni introduction corner. Danchou Yasuda is also an alumnus.
Mayor Toshiro Ishii was there too!
Here’s what the crowd looked like on the first day. From my graduating year, I was somehow the only one there…
Finally
It was listed in the January/February 2026 “Miyakko Kitaguchi Edition / Kawaragi Edition” and on the junior high school’s website, but I’m sure many people may have missed it. If you know any alumni nearby, please let them know.
