今年(2026年)も大川原地区にたくさんの福寿草が咲きました。
数十年前、大川原の有志の方々が「福寿草の里」を標榜して
元々学校の周辺に咲いていた福寿草を広い東斜面に植えつけて
年々その面積を増やし今日に至っています。
その間に集落の人口減少と共に小学校が廃校となりましたが
福寿草は地域住民の誇りとして大切に育てられています。

This year (2026), many Adonis amurensis flowers bloomed
 in the Okawara district once again.
Several decades ago, volunteers in Okawara declared the area
 "Adonis amurensis Village" and planted the flowers,
  which originally bloomed around the school, on a wide eastern slope.
They have increased the area year by year, leading to the present day.
During this time, the population of the settlement declined
  and the elementary school was closed, but the Adonis amurensis flowers
  are cherished and nurtured as a source of pride for the local residents.
