Asaka High School is one of the most prestigious ones in Fukushima, and I'm an alumnus of this school. It's pretty touching and moving for me to visit here. This time, I found Asaka Junior High is integrated into this campus.
A museum that tells the history of the modernization of new industries and the development of the Asaka region. (Modern Industrial Heritage) *During the Meiji era, it was the first national project, drawing water from Lake Inawashiro to create fertile land, and the Asaka development built what is now Koriyama. Nearby, there are government residences and settler houses where you can learn about the history of the Asaka development. 🏛️ (🇯🇵 Japan Heritage site and a nationally important cultural property), it was damaged in the Great East Japan Earthquake and is currently under construction, scheduled to open in two years. 🗓️
I fondly remember those days when I visited.
Many people appreciate the historical Western-style architecture itself, and its dignified atmosphere, befitting a nationally important cultural property, is cited as a major attraction. The museum is popular for offering insights into local history, including Asaka High School, the development of Koriyama, and the Asaka Canal, making it a highly satisfying facility for both architecture and history enthusiasts. Please note that it is currently closed for an extended period for seismic reinforcement and preservation repair work.
Shouldn't we be teaching traffic rules instead of academics? Bicycle manners are truly awful. Why do they ride on the road and sidewalks? Why do they ignore traffic signals when they're on the road? Why do they just run through stop signs without stopping?
Not teaching this is just negligence on the part of the teachers.
