The school building of Kusatsu National School (currently Honkawa Elementary School) survived the destruction and burning by the Hiroshima atomic bomb. It was located about 4.5km west of the hypocenter. Kusatsu National School became a temporary prefectural hospital from September 1945. Around October, the survivors were also transferred to Hatsukaichi in the west. The Kusatsu National School building has also become a camp for about 3,000 A-bomb victims.
