Introduction of walking course
St. Luke Garden, Henry Falls Stone Monument, Tsukiji Catholic Church, Sumida River Terrace, Kachidokibashi, Namiki Shrine, Tsukiji Outer Market
The feature of this course is the first half and the second half, and the state of the town changes dramatically.
The first half is a calm and quiet environment from the vicinity of Akashicho to the Sumida River Terrace. In the second half, when I came to Kachidokibashi and Harumi-dori St., I turned around.
The traffic of cars and people increases, and you can feel the busyness of Tsukiji Market.
St Luke's Garden
I remember that there used to be a dormitory for nurses or nursing college students.
For a while after completion, there was a free observation room on the high floor, so I could see the distance.
It is currently closed. The night view was particularly beautiful and free, but I'm sorry.
Henry Falls Stone Monument
Henry Falls conducted fingerprint research here and published it in scientific journals.
Since then, this study has been useful in criminal investigations and crime prevention.
In addition, we conducted medical activities, but Akashicho was a foreign settlement.
I opened a clinic in Minami-Odawara-cho (I think it is around 6.7-chome Tsukiji now).
This "Odawara-cho" has the "Odawara-cho police box" on Tsukiji 6-chome Harumi-dori St., and the name of the town at that time was changed.
You can know it.
Tsukiji Catholic Church
In the past, there was a kindergarten in this church, and it was called Josef Kindergarten.
Actually, I am a graduate of Josef Kindergarten, and this cathedral is called the Mido.
I still remember that the stained glass on the front is beautiful. (I don't remember what it is.)
The name of Mido (sacral) of the Tsukiji Catholic Church is said to be "St. Joseph".
St. Luke's International Hospital
The current St. Luke International Hospital was completed in 1992, but the symbolic center of the former hospital has been preserved as it is.
There is a chapel inside, where flies and rats are drawn on the tiles on the floor.
I was wondering, but it seems that you can step on these unsanitary things that transmit infectious diseases with your feet.
Sumida River Terrace
The Sumida River embankment was previously called the razor dike and was separated from the river. But at that time
(Before 1970), the odorous water was black and dirty, so I didn't feel like approaching.
Now it is recommended for a walk as introduced here. I think it's a drama.
Photography is also taking place.
I think it was until around 1970, but the Sumida River water bus company was behind Jisaku, and the ship was moored.
The names of the ships were "Urashima Maru, Ryugu Maru, and Otohime Maru" in connection with Urashima Taro.
Kachidokibashi-outside market
When you go to Kachidokibashi / Harumi-dori St. from the Sumida River Terrace, it is full of liveliness as if you came to another town.
As you know, the out-of-office market from Namiki Shrine is not only for Japanese but also for customers from overseas.
I enjoy shopping and eating.
