Monument of origin of Dutch studies (11 Akashi-cho)
"In 1771 (1771), Ryotaku Maeno, a physician of the Nakatsu clan in Buzen Country (Oita Prefecture), together with Genpa Sugita and others, the Dutch dissection "Tarher Anatomia" was completed in the Nakatsu clan Okudaira family Shimo-yashiki (later Akashicho's new land) and "demolished."
The translation at that time was described in Genpaku's book, "The Beginning of Dutch Studies", and this place can be said to be the place where the birth of modern medicine was laid.

The birthplace of Keio University (11 Akashi-cho)
"In 1858, Yukichi Fukuzawa opened a school in this area.
In commemoration of its 100th anniversary, Keio Gijuku was built in 1958.
The origin of Keio Gijuku is derived from the Dutch studies school opened in 1858 by Yukichi Fukuzawa in Nakayashiki of the Okudaira family of the Nakatsu clan. It is located on the premises of the Northeast St. Luke's International Hospital. This area is also a historic place where Ryotaku Maeno, a doctor of the Nakatsu clan, first read the Dutch anatomy book in 1771, and is a memorable place as the birthplace of modern Japanese culture.

St. Luke Chapel and Toysler Memorial Hall, St. Luke International Hospital
"In 1933, the Toysler Memorial Hall was built at 19 Akashi-cho on the banks of the Sumida River as a missionary hall at St. Luke International Hospital.
The designer was an American architect J. V. W. Bergaminy, and the enforcement was carried out by Shimizu Gumi (now Shimizu Corporation). The skeleton of the building was a two-story reinforced concrete wooden building, which is rare for residential buildings in the early Showa era, and was a solid-style building reminiscent of a European mountain cottage.
Demolition work was carried out in 1989, and it was relocated and restored to its current location in February 1998. In restoring, we accurately record the construction technology and structural features at the time of its foundation, and use reusable materials as much as possible.
The exterior is a half-timber-style design that expresses pillars and beams outside. The interior is designed with a tuder gothic style, and the interior of the wood is seen in the entrance hall and living room.
This building tells the history of St. Luke International Hospital and is a valuable cultural property that conveys a part of the history of Akashicho, which has been handed down since the Tsukiji Reservation period.
