Asahigaoka Branch School

Asahigaoka Branch School (旭丘分校) is the school that the main characters go to in the Non Non Biyori series. It is the elementary and middle school for the fictional village of Asahigaoka.

It is poorly maintained and has a rotten floor and with holes at places. There seems to be only one faculty person; the teacher Kazuho Miyauchi. The school doesn't seem to have an automated school chime, since Kazuho uses a xylophone to signal the start of class.

The school design is based on the real life Shimozato Branch School (下里分校, Shimozato bunkō) in Ogawa, Saitama Prefecture. This school was closed in 2011, but has since then been maintained by the city as a community center.
