Sakamoto Elementary School and Yasuaki Elementary School, the first elementary school in Daiichi Junior High School District, also appear in the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", but was founded one month later than Sakamoto Elementary School Hisamatsu Elementary School, the second oldest in Chuo-ku, is not very well known (although it is actually a alma mater).
Hisamatsu Elementary School was founded in 1873, the same as Sakamoto Elementary School, so last year (2013) celebrated its 140th anniversary. It is an elementary school with a long history even when viewed nationwide.

The school name of Hisamatsu Elementary School was derived from the donation of Earl Hisamatsu, a descendant of Iyomatsuyama feudal lord, so the school name was named Hisamatsu.

Around 1963, when I graduated, there were about 160 students in the first grade, but now it seems that there are about 60 to 100 people. However, since the efforts to restore the nighttime population in Chuo-ku have come here, even if it is not as much as the Tsukishima and Harumi districts, apartments have increased in the area of Hisamatsu Elementary School, etc. It seems that the number will increase from about 30 graduates, and it seems that the number of school buildings is planned to increase.
There is light at Hisamatsu Elementary School, whose educational goal is "strong, correct and rich."
