Roof tiles, かわら kawara

There are two words in Japanese for “roof”: 

屋上　おくじょう  okujō  = “on top of” “shop” = a flat roof you can walk on

and

屋根　やね　yane  = “shop” “root” = the wooden structure on top

Therefore roof tiles, or かわら kawara, are found on a やね yane and おくじょう okujō are usually made of solid concrete, so you can walk on them. Almost all schools in Japan have おくじょう okujō. Roof tiles are therefore always on a やね yane.
