I went to Asakusabashi to look for the explanation board of Asakusa Gomon. (On the Edo map, south of the Kanda River)
There is an explanation board next to the police box of "Gundai Yashiki Ruins", but there is nothing like that.
On the Taito Ward side across the bridge, there is a monument to the site of Asakusa Mitsuke, and there is an explanation board of the old Asakusabashi as a guide to the old town name.
Edo shogunate built towers, gates and bridges at important points of major traffic routes to guard Edo Castle.
This place where the Oshu Kaido passes is the road to Asakusa Kannon, so the gate built.
It was called Asakusa Gomon.
It was also called Asakusa Mitsuke because of the placement of a guard.
It was in 1636 (1636) that a bridge was first built on the Kanda River.
Because it was in front of Asakusa Gomon, it was called Asakusa Gomonbashi, but one day it became Asakusabashi.
(Taito Ward)
Returning to the Chuo-ku side while looking at the Kanda River, the area on the left side of the street corresponds to Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome and the former Nihonbashi Ryogoku. Looking at the side, there is a post office that only Ryogokubashi remains the place names of both countries.
The name is also "Ryogoku Post Office". The names of both countries remained.
If you look forward to crossing Yasukuni Dori, you will see a fine building.
When you cross the street, you can see some nostalgic signs.
There is a signboard like this in front of the shop.
When I asked the owner of the shop, Tamaki Pharmacy was founded in 1905. When asked about "Belz water", he said that it was taken from the name of a teacher who came to the University of Tokyo from Germany.
If you look into it, it looks like Prof.Dr.Erwin von Baeltz MD PhD.
German doctor Berz came to Japan at the invitation of the government in 1876 and taught physiology, pathology, internal science, obstetrics and gynecology for 26 years at Tokyo Medical School, the predecessor of the University of Tokyo School of Medicine, and made a great contribution to Japanese medicine.
"Belzsui" was originally prescribed in 1883 while staying at the Hakone Fujiya Hotel, seeing the hands of the women being rough.
He was also the one who introduced Kusatsu Onsen to the world.
I was invited by the so-called Meiji New Government to teach advanced learning and technology to Japan.
Married to Japanese Hanako Arai, and has been awarded the First Order of Zuiho and the Order of the Ribbon of Asahi Japan for his achievements.
The doctor's memorial monument is located on the campus of the University of Tokyo, on the library, and on the riverbank west of Kusatsu Onsen.
In addition, he is the nominator of "Mongolian spot" found in Japanese.
Heinrich von Siebold was also a good friend of Heinrich.
The store also requires velz water, honey, general chemicals, cigarettes and drinks by size.
Inside the store, there are two stairs in the center on both sides, and there seems to be a fine dispensing room in the back.
I don't like the camera, so I shot the outside.
The arched design is nice, isn't it?
The black and dirty wall is the trace of incendiary bombs caused by air raids.
It is a precious building that preserves the Meiji era.
Speaking of which, a resident of Seattle told me that there was a gold sign in your house at an antique shop in Vancouver.
That's right. A long-established story has a different scale, isn't it?
