市立宮竹小学校

In 1954, a new chapter began in Fukuoka’s educational landscape. The Miyatake Elementary School opened its doors. It started as the Sasabaru North Elementary School, a division of the Sasabaru Elementary. The school initially had 311 students across seven grades. Miyatake Elementary School stands in Fukuoka’s Minami Ward, specifically in the Itoshima area. The school’s name, Miyatake, officially took hold in 1957. This renaming marked a significant moment in the school’s history, reflecting its growing presence and importance within the community. In 1974, Itabari Kita Elementary School branched off from Miyatake Elementary. Later, in 1982, Takagi Elementary School also became an independent institution. These separations demonstrate Miyatake Elementary’s role in nurturing and fostering the growth of education in the region. The school’s history is intertwined with the development of the surrounding area. Originally part of Sasabaru Village, the school became part of Fukuoka City when the village was incorporated into the city in 1954. This transition further solidified Miyatake Elementary School’s place within Fukuoka’s educational system. The school serves a designated district within Fukuoka City’s Minami Ward. This district stretches along the Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line and Kashii Main Line. It encompasses the area from Hakata Station West Exit to Itoshima Station East Exit (north side). It also includes parts of Hakozaki 3-chome. Near the Miyatake Community Center, just a short walk from the school, sits the Miyatake Kindergarten, creating a convenient and connected educational hub for the community.
