学校のツアー

This page is undergoing reconstruction! Take a look anyhow!

Where to find Kin Elementary School
Kin Elementary School is hiding behind the main street in Kin Town (Route 329). Find Family Mart Convenience Store and the road leading to the school is directly opposite. There is a sign in Japanese and two 'shisa' lion-dogs at the top of the road leading to the school.

                

The School Gate & the Main Entrance
Remember to say 'Good morning' or 'Ohayou gozaimasu' to the Principal, the school guard, and whoever else is on greeting and traffic safety duty as you come in to the school. Then, look up and see the interesting mural of Okawa Springs, the hari boats and the rainbow.
                     

The East and West Entrances
Turn left and right as you go into the school. These are the entrances we use to get to our classrooms and where we leave our outdoor shoes at the start of the day, and our indoor shoes when we are outside and when we are not in school
