    It took me me over an hour to watch because I kept screenshotting and using google translate. The history timeline was cool. That jet was about the hondajet and how it would be flying in 2012 in the US and in Europe in 2013. This was def. an elementary school: grades 2-5 at least. The tags with the clay art were name tags. I googled some names but they are common names so no telling who was who. Most everything was basic stuff in classrooms. The field trip pics were cool too. Kids talking about what they saw and what they thought about the day. Oh... it also looks like in that one classroom, each kid had their own chore to do. One kid cleans the blackboards. Didn't get much else tho. Really cool stuff.
    You should see if there is something with AI or google stranslate to see if it can translate and overlay the translations in the video. THAT would be cool!

    Many classroom clocks have stopped at 9.30 - 9.40 hours which could indicate that the earthquake happened around that time. Sad to see all the items the children had to leave behind. great documentary you made of this school. which most likely will get demolished at some stage. Good to see that you respect the school and leave it as it is. Those shoes, perfectly paired up on the shelves impressed me that they are taught basic rules of good housekeeping.

      It's guarded frequently is why.
      Japanese unemployment is very low because the government contracts the unemployed and elderly to monitor these sorts of places. That's why a rural abandoned school is still guarded over a decade later.

    Please use extreme caution doing things like this in Japan. Law enforcement is very strict, and those who are arrested are likely to face forced/coerced confessions to crimes the accused never committed...even if the accused didn't know they were breaking the law.

      They probably weren't given the opportunity to clean up. First, the earthquake hit, then the tsunami warnings would have forced them to leave quickly, and then the power plant had a meltdown, spewing radiation everywhere. They were lucky to be let back in to get anything. Cleaning the school was a very low priority.

    Wow I am impressed the building is in pristine condition. No vandalism, no damage of any kind. If this school was in the United States left abandoned it would be in ruins. The Japanese culture is so much different they are respectful and polite they don’t destroy things unnecessarily. I watched this once beautiful Detroit abandoned schools and all of them were vandalized. So sad people just can’t leave things alone. I can’t stand it when people destroy abandoned buildings much less operational ones at that.

      Kind of correct, on 2:00p.m - 3:00pm is the time to go home on elementary schools, but before they will go home after school the teachers will talk to the students on what they’ll do and bring for tomorrow. But on the middle of it, the earthquake struck causing them to leave their belongings for their safety. And that’s why there’s kids belongings on their desks.

    Since the earthquake took place at probably the final period of the school when everyone is about to pack their bags and leave, but with the risk of the building collapsing when students go back and reclaim their properties and concerns about the leakage of nuclear products that could harm any living organisms, those bags, shoes, artworks, were just neatly left there, some of them don’t want to reclaim them since this is a place that their loved ones were lost while some of them may not be able to reclaim it forever

  • @sweetpotat0064

    In my country when we have emergency practice, they tell us that we can not bring our things. However i can imagine that the teachers and the kids were both confused, preparing to leave (with their bags, hesitating what to do) but they ended up evacuating fast. No time for bags and shoe changes. I can imagine the kids holding their bags sitting at the desk waiting for orders from the teachers.

    A large area around the Fukushima nuclear power plant will be uninhabitable for at least 100 years.
    Nowadays, atmospheric radiation levels in most areas of Fukushima Prefecture are similar to those of other major cities around the world, making it safe for visitors and residents.
    The March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi plant's cooling systems, causing three reactors to melt and contaminating their cooling water, which has since leaked continuously. The water is collected, filtered and stored in some 1,000 tanks, which will reach their capacity in early 2024.

      Blurring faces is customary in Japanese videos, but in the west it's very uncommon. I think if the uploader knew this they would've blurred their faces.

      @ they didn’t point it at everything before touching it though. They showed checking it like one or maybe two times and when it was making a noise they just turned it off. Like WTF it’s making a noise to tell you to get away from stuff.
