Currently taking my family on a 2-week camping road trip from Kyushu to Hokkaido and back.

It was raining so last night we found lodging. We stayed in an old elementary school that had been active between 1878 - 1989 and is now repurposed as a hostel of sorts.

Outside of an old wooden school building surrounded by greenery Hallway of old Japanese school building, with signs for 6年 5年 図書館 and greenery visible from the windows A display of about 60 different types of wood with cross sections and bark A modern history poster that ends with sputnik/1962

There was a scroll on the wall with year by year major events in the school history and for 1960 it had down that they got color TV!
