Kyuu Uwaoka Shougakkou 旧上岡小学校 previously was a primary school in a wooden building since the Meiji era 明治時代. It is currently being preserved by local community, and is used by several live action movie and TV drama as filming location.

In Girls und Panzer der Film ガールズ&パンツァー 劇場版, it is used as the temporary base of the Ooarai Prefectural Girl's High's 県立大洗女子学園 Senshadou 戦車道 company after the school mother-ship was closed down by the authority.

Since there is no video release of the movie yet, the session is based on scenes of promotional video and memory.

The nearest train station is Hitachi-Daigo Station 常陸大子駅 of JR Suigun Line 水郡線.
