NUNAGAWA Campus
Nunagawa Elementary School, which closed in March 2014, has been reborn as a school where students can learn about the value of their local community through hands-on experiences.With agriculture as its foundation, the school provides a space to help each child discover their unique strengths through food, daily life, play, and dance. It also serves as the “Children’s Five Senses Art Museum,” offering art experiences that engage the whole body—beyond just “seeing”—and is the home ground of “FC Echigo-Tsumari,” an agricultural corporate soccer team where female players from the city have relocated to become stewards of the Rice Fields and continue playing soccer while farming.
