The birthplace of Shuyo Gakuen and the birthplace of headwater Tokyo Junior High School in Kanto Gakuin

[Minori] September 19, 2017 18:00

Hello, this is Minori.

This time, I went to the birthplace of Shuyo Gakuen and the birthplace of headwater Tokyo Junior High School in Kanto Gakuin.

 

There was a monument on the road near Akashi Elementary School, the sidewalk at Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge West Intersection.

There is a stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School nearby.

 

It was a very hot day in the summer road.

 

●The land of Shuyo Gakuen's launch

In 1875 (1875), "Tsukiji Language School" opened by a missionary of the Sun Mall Shudokai, who had been conducting Christian missionary and educational philanthropic activities in Yokohama, was the whole body of Futaba Gakuen. In 1909 (1909), moved to Rokubancho, Chiyoda-ku. A pair of monuments like a heart on the road side feels relieved when you look at them.

●The birthplace of headwater Tokyo Junior High School in Kanto Gakuin

Near the stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School, there is a stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School.

Kanto Gakuin began on September 10, 1895 (1895) at Kutsukiji Reservation 42-43 (currently Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku), when the U.S. Baptist Engagement Association established Tokyo Junior High School.

From the stone monument of the birthplace of Futaba Gakuen, pass the stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School to Akashi Elementary School, and you will go to St. Luke's College of Nursing and St. Luke's International Hospital to take a break at St. Luke's Garden opposite.

In addition, if you take the traffic light in front of St. Luke's International Hospital toward Tsukiji 7-chome, you will be able to get to Akatsuki Park.

 

It is said that Akashicho was derived from the place name because the scenery was similar to "Akashinoura" in Akashi, Harima country (now Hyogo prefecture).
