From the “Health and Welfare Festival”, tour the “birthplace”

[Kenken] October 28, 2014 09:00

On Sunday, October 26, "Chuo-ku Health and Welfare Festival 2014" was held at Akatsuki Park, the surrounding Chuo-ku Public Health Center, Time Dome Akashi, etc.

Actually, my wife was taking a dog from my home, so I went to see it when it was cool (laughs).

Many groups participated in various elaborate ways, and on the outdoor stage in the park, various performances were shown, and I think it was quite exciting.

What is particularly noticeable here is that there are many "birthplaces" of various schools.

At that time, more Christianity-based schools were established in Tsukiji Foreign Settlements by foreigners.

For example, on the premises of St. Luke's College of Nursing next to Akatsuki Park, there are monuments of Rikkyo Gakuin and Women's Academy's Birthplace.
