Imazu Elementary School appears to be celebrating its 150th anniversary.
(This information was provided by Sasako, a Nishitsu supporter. Thank you!)
Here it is↓
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 4-10 Imazu Futabacho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Apparently, Imazu Elementary School was founded 150 years ago, in Meiji 6 (1873), using Jogenji Temple in Imazu Village(which was in Imazu Mizunamicho at the time; it is now in Koshien) as a temporary school building. From the history section of the official website
It seems the Rokkakudo (school building) was built in the current Imazu Futabacho area in Meiji 15 (1882).
Today, the first floor is apparently used as a history exhibition corner, while the second floor is used as an audiovisual room.
The construction cost at the time was apparently 80 million yen, of which 52 million yen came from donations by local supporters. Nishinomiya’s strong commitment to education really goes way back.
Koto Elementary School and Yamaguchi Elementary School are also celebrating their 150th anniversaries. (Also, Hino-kuchi Elementary School is celebrating its 50th anniversary. From U240, a Nishitsu supporter)
Hamawaki Elementary School is celebrating its 151st anniversary this year, so Nishinomiya has many old elementary schools.
