In the examination season, JR West named the stone that came out of the site when it broke through the hard rock due to the difficult construction of the Hokuriku Shinkansen tunnel, and distributed it to the families of the examinees at JR Fukui Station. ..
Distribution began on the 11th, and on the premises of JR Fukui Station, breakthrough stones that were prayed for success at a shrine in the city were lined up last week.
Before 9 o'clock when the distribution started, more than 30 people, including the students' families, lined up and received stones one after another.
A woman in her 70s, whose grandson is taking the university entrance exam, said, "I'm more nervous. There's not much I can do as a family, but I'm studying at a cram school every day, so I want you to do your best."
A man in his 70s, whose grandson is taking the high school exam, said, "I hope I can go to the school I want."
The stones will be distributed at four stations, including Tsuruga Station and Sabae Station, and will continue to be distributed at Fukui Station on the 12th.
