For the first time in six months, I went to the Kodemmacho prison exhibition hall in the "Jushi Square Annex" adjacent to Jushi Square (former Jushi Elementary School).
I went there in October last year, so I haven't been there for a while.
As usual, when I entered from the reception desk of Jushi Square, there was no model of the prison. When I asked a kind staff member, I was told that it was relocated to the place where it entered from the entrance to Jushiyu.
It is a miniature version of the very elaborate Kodemmacho prison. The kind explanation is also perfect.
A great man, including Dr. Shouin Yoshida, who was damaged in Ansei's prison that rocked late Tokugawa shogunate, was imprisoned and executed.
It was a time to think about history and think about the achievements of great people who ran through the Meiji Restoration from the end of the Tokugawa period.
We recommend walking along Ningyocho-dori from Kodemmacho and strolling around Nihonbashi Elementary School, Uokyu Main Store, and Kakigara Ginza where Saigo Don lived. And enjoy eating and shopping in Ningyocho, which is full of humanity.
