you can click on some of the school to see pictures of the buildings.

you can see on this site about schools in each prefecture.
when you click on each school, it will take you to the school's official homepage where you can see some pictures.

schools will be located mostly residential area, because public school students normally ride bikes to school. surroundings may vary, if you are in urban area, buildings and houses may be around more than countrysides where there are less population and houses.

the reason why Japan has many trees: because we are team "GO GREEN." :)

hope it helped you to find your answer~.
