🗺️ Kasaoka City Manabe Junior High School

Manabe Junior High School in Kasaoka City, located on Manabe Island, is famous for being a filming location for the movie "Setouchi Shonen Yakyu-dan." The nostalgic atmosphere of the school building is situated on a hill that overlooks the old streets of Honura Port. From this small hill, one can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Seto Inland Sea, with its pastoral scenery being truly enchanting. The school building is a two-story wooden structure, built in Showa 24 (1949). Due to increasing age and deterioration, the classrooms ceased to be used in 2022. The exterior of the school is open for free visits. Despite years of exposure to wind and rain, the building still exudes a unique charm, with its wooden walls, white plaster walls, and gabled roof reflecting the passage of time and historical memories. Additionally, the entrance terrace, which still feels quite innovative even today, is another highlight worth seeing.
