About
Short-term study abroad in the countryside
Seiyo City, located in the southern part of Ehime Prefecture, is a city interwoven with the natural beauty of the sea, countryside, and mountains, ranging from 0 meters above sea level to 1,400 meters above sea level.
We have just started a relocation experience program in Yusukawa, Shirokawa Town, located in the mountain area, utilizing the out-of-area school attendance system!
The purpose is for children to learn in a way that is unique to a rural school, and for adults to experience the "Yusukawa time" that is unique to the countryside.
Why not come to Oku-Iyo Shirokawa to find the opportunity to discover your own well-being, such as a purpose in life and meaning in life, and happiness for the future?

The family will live in the Yuzugawa area, and their children will attend Shirokawa Elementary School and Shirokawa Junior High School as out-of-area students, giving them the experience of a rural school.
Adults can use their time however they like, either working remotely in the quiet environment of the guesthouse or interacting with others through a wide range of experiences on the Yuzu River.
*Out-of-area school attendance is a system that allows you to attend a school outside the designated area without moving your residence registration. Even during the out-of-area school attendance period, your child will be counted as attending school.
Target Audience
Elementary and junior high school students and their guardians (elementary and junior high school students alone cannot be accepted).
Implementation period
September 1, 2020 - December 25, 2020
* Approximately 2 weeks per family during the project period

第二の故郷ができました!!
小学校1年生・3年生・年中のお母さん
子どもたちが通った小学校は、木造校舎で温もりを感じられてとても良かったです。
学習面で最初は戸惑いがあるのではと不安もありましたが、少人数で先生方の目が行き届いていて、問題なく元気に楽しく通学できました。
先生方のご指導のおかげで、留学中から目上の人を敬うような言葉遣いもできるようになりました。
土日には、海と山の体験メニューも組んでいただき、田舎を存分に堪能できました。
また、家族で長期的な留学もしたいです!!
