This year's first school excursion student at "Nebuta no Wa Wa Rasse" Aomori 4:26 on August 26th
Due to the effects of the new coronavirus, school trips were postponed or canceled one after another, and elementary school students from Akita Prefecture visited Nebuta House Wa Rasse, a tourism exchange facility in Aomori City, as the first school trip this year.
Eighteen children from Osarizawa Elementary School in Kazuno City, Akita Prefecture visited Nebuta House Wa Rasse in Aomori City on their school trip.
After being informed about how to dance at the Aomori Nebuta Festival, the children really enjoyed themselves by jumping along with the Nebuta music and taking pictures of the large Nebuta exhibited.
A boy in the 6th grade of elementary school said, "I was surprised at the power of the Nebuta. I felt tired immediately when I bounced, so I think it's great for people who keep jumping at festivals."
“The school excursion was conducted in May every year in Hakodate City, Hokkaido, but I chose Aomori because there are few infected people. The children are delighted to have been able to go to the school excursion. I think."
According to "Wa Rasse", there were no schools that I visited on my school trip so far this year, but recently I have made a series of reservations from schools in the Tohoku region that have changed their destinations to Aomori. Asako Kosaka, Deputy Director of Nebuta House Wa Rasse, said, "I'm glad to see the energetic appearance of the children on our school trip finally in August."
