Corridor handrail Honcho Shotenagi at YubariA dark upholstered armchair sits against the corridor wall of the former Family School Fureai, beneath a ceiling of collapsed tiles and loose strip lighting. The building opened as Asahi Elementary School in 1975 and closed just eight years later, as Yubari's coal industry finished its long decline. YKK converted it to group lodging in the mid 1990s; the city went bankrupt in 2007. Part of the Family School Fureai series.
