There is also a taste for walking around Akashicho

 Yellow leaves on the street from St. Luke's Tower, Akatsuki Park in Akashicho, to Minato 3-chome have begun.

The poplar at Akatsuki Park is tall and lively. I think you'll get well.

The ginkgo leaves turn yellow and turn red is "Momijibafu (Autumn Leave Maple)".

There is a description. Let's go to the front of Mr. Jisaku restaurant for a while.

There is a stone monument called "Unjosho". (It seems that it has not been listed in the Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia of the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification so far.)

From the end of the Tokugawa period to 1868, a settlement was set up, and a "unsho" was opened for customs clearance and taxation of foreign cargo. This office was renamed Tokyo Customs in 1872. This is the birthplace of Tokyo Customs.

In the planting of the bus street, there is a `` monument of the founding of telegraphs '', and it is engraved that the construction of the telegraph line connecting the `` Telegraph Office '' in the luck office and the Yokohama Court started operation in 1869. I am.

You can see the monuments of the U.S. Mission School on the premises of the St. Luke's College of Nursing and the monuments of the Mission School.

In honor of the Siebold statue at Akatsuki Park, and then enjoy the soft sunlight of Koharu weather while watching the boats that come and go leisurely on the Sumida River Terrace?

There are many delicious shops near St. Luke's Tower and Tsukiji Outer Market. Please enjoy a pleasant walk.
