Nishiokoppe, Hokkaido
What are classes like at school these days? They say classroom scenes have been changing year by year. Lessons that used to be mostly the teacher talking now actively incorporate group work. Where students once laid out textbooks and notebooks on their desks, teachers and students now use tablet devices, sharing screens and submitting assignments. Why has the teaching style changed, and how else, beyond what’s listed above, has it changed? You can of course read books that explain today’s classes, but why not try experiencing a class yourself? Principal Hama of Nishiokoppe Elementary and Junior High School will be the instructor. Thursday, January 29 6:00 PM–8:00 PM At Hotel Morimu, Nishiokoppe Village, audiovisual room Anyone is welcome to join No reservation required. Organized by: Nishiokoppe Elementary and Junior High School Management Council #Trial class #Principal #Reiwa #Class

Kumamoto Amakusa Reihoku Tourism Association
A fire burned at Tomioka Elementary School for the first time in about 20 years. The children who once took part are now parents, passing the tradition to today's kids. On Sunday, January 18, the "Dondoya"—held at Tomioka Elementary School for the first time in about 20 years—took place. The familiar crack of bamboo snapping, "Bachi bachi!" Beyond the height of the flames, the crowd's warmth was overwhelming…! They grilled mochi over the embers, enjoyed steaming roasted sweet potatoes, and sipped pork miso soup that warmed the body. Watching children stuffing their cheeks with mochi they had toasted themselves, I felt reminded of the importance of keeping this tradition alive. From the lighting at 9 a.m., the happy hours passed in a flash. Thank you so much to everyone in the community who planned and prepared the event. Winter in Tomioka is the best. If you missed it, why not join the circle next year? If you want to help preserve Reihoku's traditions, please follow us via the icon at the top left to show your support. We’re sharing the charms of Reihoku! ✨
