You will arrive after climbing the slope on the way. The parking lot is a little slanted, but you can park there. It's a good old school. There is a race called the Z-1 Grand Prix where you have to rag a 109m corridor. You will definitely receive an award. The color of the can badge also differs depending on the record. It costs 500 yen just to participate. I took the opportunity to change into a jersey and take on the challenge. It was a very fun memory. ——————————————---------✈︎ YouTube➡️ muban Instagram➡️ @muban.japan Follow and subscribe to the channel I would be happy if you could support me.

A facility that utilizes the school building of the former Uwamachi Elementary School. In addition to exhibits related to Uwa rice, they also rent out classrooms, and are famous nationwide for their rag race experience that utilizes the 109m long hallway. There is no admission fee, but if you wish to participate in the race, you will need to pay a separate fee. There is a sign posted in the office showing the top performers, and people come from all over the country to take on the challenge. The race has a homely atmosphere, and you'll even receive a certificate at the end, so it's sure to become a fond memory of your trip.

I was able to find the location using the navigation system. There is also a parking lot. The school ruins built on a hill are designated as an important cultural property by the city. You can watch it for free. It is characterized by a very long hallway, and you can try your hand at wiping a rag, so if you are confident in your physical strength, please come! Apparently that goes towards maintenance costs. If you have time, we recommend checking out the back of this building and enjoying the view at the cafe.

Super fun 109meters floor cleaning race. Super hard especially in the Japanese summer weather. Nice smallmuseum too.

It's free! The building it's in is very rustic and used to be a school. A nice, quick history on rice cultivation in Japan.
