Stage of movie Canaries of the north Beautiful park. You can see Rishiri Fuji mountain.

This is definitely a school with a view. What an amazing location which I am pretty sure it won't get tiring to go to school on Rebun Island. It now functions as a museum and was popularized by a drama series that used the location for filming (many of the setting for the drama remains within the school compound). There's a LED cut out display of a teacher which looks really freaky as you hear someone speaking and at the last room you sed this moving display of the teacher 🥲 There's a cafe and public toilet right beside too.

Pretty view of the mountain! Not much to see here aside from the view. The cafe was closed when we were there (Tuesday), as was the other building because it was too early. You cannot swing on the swing set.
