In the park, I took the following photo on a chilly day when the snow of the Snow Festival remains.

　
　Siebold (1796-1866)
Philip Franz von Siebold arrived in Nagasaki in July 1823 as a Dutch trading house doctor, and was active in opening a private school in Narutaki, Nagasaki, alongside medical treatment.
　On the New Year of the same year, he headed to Edo with the director of the trading house, stopped at Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi on March 4, and before leaving on April 12, interviewed Dutch scholars in Edo and had a great influence. However, after the Siebold incident occurred in 11 years, he was expelled from Japan in December. He later returned to Japan as an advisor to the Shogunate in 1859 (1859), but soon returned home and died in Munich.
　His guidance in Edo was greatly contributed to the development of Edo Dutch studies. This land is the birthplace of Edo Dutch studies, and his daughter Ine, who received in Nagasaki, opened a maternity hospital in Tsukiji, and foreign settlements were established in this area from the early to mid-Meiji era. Therefore, he builds his bust here to reward his understanding of Japan and his achievements as a bridge between Japan and the Netherlands.

One of the reasons for the bust here is the fact that Siebold's daughter, Ine, who received a daughter in Nagasaki, opened a maternity hospital in Tsukiji.

I looked for a specific address, but I didn't know. I'll read a little novel. It can be seen that "Ine" was a person who lived as a doctor in the turbulent era of the Meiji era from the end of the Tokugawa period to the Meiji era. In addition, there are many famous historical figures, the depiction differs depending on the writer, and there are interesting things.

"Ine" was born in Nagasaki in 1827. He studied obstetrics and Dutch studies, and opened a maternity hospital in Tsukiji in 1870 (closed in 1875). In 1889 (1889) Ine moved to Tokyo from Nagasaki again and lived in Azabu with her daughter Takako. He died in 1903 (1903), 76.

　Before the 11th Tokyo Marathon, which will be released on the 26th tomorrow, Tokyo Tower, one of the landmarks of the course, will be illuminated with a special one-night lighting.

（17:30～22:00）

With the motif of the tournament logo mark, which is said to represent "the day when Tokyo becomes one", the runners and supporters and supporters are united together beautifully, the yellow, red, blue and green lines that mix together It is the lighting of a diamond veil with four colors alternately arranged.

From the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, you can clearly see the shine through Tsukiji Market.

From 22:00 to dawn the next day, the standard landmark lights are lit.

From this time, the course has been changed to a more urban area, with a total of 36,000 people from Japan and overseas and citizen runners participating.

Along the course, there will be a runner support event "Marathon Festival", which will enliven the tournament with performances such as music performances, dances, and folk performing arts.　

A popular Italian restaurant in Tsukiji, located in a corner outside Tsukiji Market!
When I called around 11 o'clock to make a reservation from 12:30.
It seems that today's reservation has been completed, and it will be put in the shop if they are arranged.
When I went to the shop around 12:30, I found myself on the paper on the outside.
A considerable number of names were written.

I'll write your phone number.
I think you can call me when I'm called.
The people who were there were more priority.
After all, I had to wait in front of the store. 。 。

　
And it was half past 1:30 to enter the shop!
You can choose from 4 types of pasta for lunch menu.
I ordered Kintoki and Agu sauce spaghetti.
There is also a volumey salad, so 980 yen is a great deal!

　
Spaghetti was also rich and delicious (*^^*)

Around Akashicho, or around St. Luke International Hospital, there are many monuments commemorating the birth of the school.

The wind is still cold, but it is good to take a stroll while reading those inscriptions on a clear day.

First of all, the monument to the birthplace of Keio Gijuku along St. Luke Street (11 Akashi-cho)

The origin of Keio Gijuku is said to be derived from the Dutch studies school, which was opened by Yukichi Fukuzawa in the Nakayashiki of the Okudaira family of the Nakatsu clan in 1858.

Nearby, there are monuments of "Women's Academy", "Rikkyo Gakuin", and "Rikkyo Jogakuin" (10 Akashicho) around St. Luke's International University.

Near the Catholic Tsukiji Church, there is a monument of "Akisei Gakuen" (Akashicho 7) along the settlement Chuo-dori. There are monuments (1-5 Akashicho) and "Place of Shuyo Gakuen" (1-6 Akashicho) (1-6 Akashicho).

As you approach St. Luke's Tower, on the same side of the street, "Meiji Gakuin" (7-16 Akashicho), "Women's Seigakuin" (6-24 Akashicho), "Aoyama Gakuin Memorial Land" (6-26 Akashicho) There is a monument.

Near the west entrance of Akatsuki Park, there is a monument to the birthplace of Kogakuin University Gakuen (7-3-10 Tsukiji).

The reason why there are many mission-based schools is probably because this was a foreign settlement from the end of the Tokugawa period to the Meiji era.

In Chuo-ku, there are monuments that originated in schools everywhere, but this is the only area that is so dense.

　I heard that there are about 130 plums planted in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden in total, about 10 types.

Last month, following the blooming of early blooming plums around the Service Center / flower garden from around the former Inao Shrine / Hanakien, about 80 Bairin plums began to bloom.

The 11th Shogun Ienari liked the double-flowered large-flowered "Kengyo", the double-flowered large-flowered "Yae-Yaba", which has red branches and calyxes red and double-flowered, and the green calyx with yellow-green branches and calyxes. It has been planted, but this time's attention is "I feel like it."

Among plums with many classic Japanese-style names, the middle ring of the double-flowered of the Noume family has a rare name and is called an unusual species.

Four patterns of flowers, red, light red, spot, and white, bloom in a single tree exactly mixed together.

Depending on the year, where and how it blooms, depending on the year, it is determined that the appearance differs every year.

It is a gorgeous flower figure that has the mystery of nature.

　Tokyo Tower's "Special Light Up" is illuminated and entertained according to weekends, anniversaries, events, promotions, etc.

Once a month, as a full moon night limited event, the "Full Moon Diamond Ver" lights up the upper part of the tower and the lower part shines pink in order to enhance the light of the "Full Moon".

In addition, a total of 100 candles are lit on the window side on the first floor of the large observatory and on the observation cafe "Cafe La Tor".

In the Great observation deck, "Candle + Night View + Full Moon Light" is a production to experience the ultimate healing space.

This month, February 11th, sunset-22:00 "Full Moon Diamond Ver" lit, 19:00-22:00 "Large observation deck Candle".

This time, you can also see the "Full Moon Diamond Ver" from the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki over the Tsukiji Market.

By the way, from 22:00 to dawn the next day, the standard "Landmark Light (Winter Version)" lights up.
