Nagoya City Public Elementary School Enrollment Applications
小学校入学に関する手続きについて
Were you aware that children of foreign nationality can enroll in public elementary schools?
If you live in Nagoya City and would like your child to attend a Nagoya City public elementary school (koritsu shogakko 公立小学校) from April 2013, you can apply at your local
ward office’s citizen’s section (shimin-ka 市民課). Applications for children born between
April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007 are now being accepted.
Enrollment is based upon the residential area you live in and children cannot enroll in a
school in an area where they are not a resident. After application, it will be necessary for
your child to have a medical check-up on a specific date (after October 1) set up by the
local elementary school. In January 2013 a notice of enrollment acceptance (shugaku
tsuchi-sho 就学通知書) will be mailed out from the local ward office.
For more information please contact your local ward office’s citizen’s section (shimin-ka
市民課). For inquiries in English (and other languages) please use the NIC’s Toriohon 3-way
call System - available in English Tuesday through Friday 09:00 -17:00 at 052-581-6112.

Cormorant Fishing on the Kiso River 木曽川うかい
Ukai is not conventional fishing with lines or nets, but fishing using specially-trained cormorant birds to catch, swallow, and regurgitate the fish. This
unique fishing technique has been passed down through the generations and the first written record of ukai on the Kiso River dates back to 702. Since
1909 it has been one of the area’s premier tourist attractions.
With the exception of typhoons and river swell there are daily ukai tours in Inuyama until the early autumn.
Tours last just under 2 hours and visitors are taken out on special viewing boats to within close proximity of the fishing boats. There are ukai tours in

Exploring the Mystery of Edo Painting 江戸絵画ふしぎ探検
To our eyes today, Edo and pre-Edo paintings are full of mystery. In an age when photographs, television,
and copiers did not exist, paintings had various roles as visual images. To convey time and space into their
two-dimensional world, painters used many original and creative techniques. These methods, and even the
manner of studying painting, differed considerably from present practices. This exhibition explores the
notable features of Edo paintings, the painting techniques and materials used, and answers the question, "Is
the depicted image real or fake?".
When: Saturday, July 28 - Sunday, September 2 (10:00 - 17:00, last entry 16:30); closed on Mondays
(except August 13). Open until 19:00 from August 10 to 12.
