History

It was formed on April 1, 1993 by the merger of Kyoka Elementary School and Teppozu Elementary School. The school board had the new school use the Teppozu building, although the Kyoka building was used temporarily until August 31 of that year. Classes at the ex-Teppozu building started on September 1.
In 2009 the school had 112 students. By 2010 there were plans to raze the original building to build a new school building. Hideo Takahashi, an alumnus of Teppozu, campaigned against the building's destruction on historical grounds, and his son Yoshiaki argued against the destruction due to historical reasons and the price tag of the new school building.
The school held a farewell celebration of the former building on July 17, 2010. Classes were temporarily held at Meisho Elementary School from September 1, 2010 to September 3, 2012, the day the new school building opened. The current school building was to have a playground on the last floor, and a retractable roof over it. The building houses elementary and kindergarten classes. The current building, designed by, was given the Good Design Award in 2013.
