Text description provided by the architects. Tokamachi is an area of severe wilderness where cold air from the land and warm currents from the Sea of Japan collide with the Echigo Sanzan mountains, resulting in a lot of snowfall. In Tokamachi, a traditional event called "Honyara-do" has been passed down from generation to generation. "Honyara-do" is where everyone gathers to eat, play, enjoy, and learn, a scene that has continued in this area for a long time. The new school building is a place like "Honyara-do" that is "regardless of the season."
