吹屋ふるさと村郷士館
吹屋小学校 Fukiya shōgakkō
Built in 1909 when the area was still wealthy from the copper mines, the school, like the rest of the Fukiya area, saw its population dwindle as the mines closed. In 2009 only 6 students remained in the entire school. It was known as the oldest wooden school still in use in Japan until it finally closed in 2012. The school has been preserved as an important local landmark and popular attraction for visitors. You can only view it from the outside, yet many consider it to be one of the area's highlights.
