加茂小学校倉見分校 / Kamo Elementary School Kurami Branch

Visited: January 2023
Location: 岡山県津山市 / Okayama, Japan

No information available for the opening year of the school. The only info I found is that there was a fire during a film screening there in 1953, which burned down the previous building. The current building was built after that. The school was closed in 1977 and merged with the main Kamo Elementary School.

There were a few houses near the site but I doubt anyone lived there because there was no car. From Kamo town up until the site, I saw some camping sites so it is probably more "lively" during summer.

開校年は不明ですが、1953年に校舎で映画上映会開催中に火事が起こり、旧校舎は全焼したそう。今残っているのは当時に建て直された校舎のようです。1977年に廃校、本校に統合されました。

Abandoned bus I found on the way to the school from town

Bannosawa School (former Shoto Elementary School) was founded in 1906 with the capacity of 20 students. The rotunda, which is the last structure still standing, was built in 1959, during when the town was booming with Bibai Mine prospered.

沼東小学校の前身である盤之沢簡易教育所が1906年に設立。当時の児童数は20名でした。1959年には美唄鉱山の好況を受けて、唯一現存する円形校舎が建てられました。最盛期には児童数が1570名まで増えたそう。
