Site of the Saigo-don residence Nihonbashi Elementary School

[Satoken] April 23, 2018 14:00

After two years of blanking, this is my first post in a long time. I am delighted to be able to work as a correspondent again. It has been transformed into Ginza and Nihonbashi before looking at the ward for a while. In the coming time when the climate improves, I would like to walk vigorously in the city. The start of the reopening is already famous, Nihonbashi Elementary School, located on the site of Saigo Takamori's mansion in Saigo Don, Taiga drama series.

This mansion in Koamicho was left to Toshimichi Okubo after the Meiji Restoration, returned to Kagoshima and kept a distance from the government, but once again to summarize the confused country, he came to Tokyo and settled in Tokyo. It is a place where I set up. (It may not be accurate) The information board in front of the building says that it has been since 1873. Since Satsuma Rebellion was in 1877, I am deeply moved to the government, which was shaken by the theory of conquering Korea, from this place.

The building of Nihonbashi Elementary School itself was renewed last year, and the library attached to it has become beautiful. The same building also has a library, pool, and parking lot, making it a unique way to use it in the city. I go to the library every week, but thanks to Taiga drama series, I see many people taking pictures in front of the building.
