The students will sincerely introduce the charm of the "Sunflowers of the World Praying for Peace" in the Sunflowers of the World corner.

Guiding the 6th grade students of Shinryu Elementary School
On this day, sixth grade students from Shinryu Elementary School participated in the World Sunflower Guide.
We learned about sunflowers around the world by listening to explanations from our junior high school seniors.
Third to fifth graders from Shinryu Elementary School go around the village
Third to fifth graders from Shinryu Elementary School took a tour of Sunflower Village.
The Hokuryu Junior High School "Sunflower Committee" is the main organizer of the cultivation.
24 varieties of "Sunflowers from around the World" cultivated, cared for and carefully nurtured by all 35 students at Hokuryu Junior High School (Principal Sakai Makoto).
A "Sunflower Committee" has been formed at Hokuryu Junior High School, and during the "integrated learning period" all students work seriously on growing the sunflowers, from sowing the seeds and weeding to volunteer guiding, and even cleaning up afterwards.
In this "Sunflower Guide of the World," all 35 students worked in pairs to carefully and clearly explain to the tourists visiting the area the names, origins, height, and characteristics of sunflowers, and also answered their various questions.
Guide pattern
Principal Sadao Kamata of Shinryu Elementary School also participated in the tour and received an explanation.

Tourists' impressions
- The sunflowers I had carefully cultivated were blooming beautifully, and it was a very happy moment to see them.
- The explanation was very detailed, so I was able to understand even the small details of the flowers.
- I was moved by the many beautiful sunflowers that the junior high school students had grown after much hard work.
- I heard that there are flowers that are difficult to grow, so I thought it must be hard work. Thank you very much.
