Application for the 17th Chuo-ku sightseeing certification is started on October 21. The residence of Genya Okamoto, the physician who cured Tokugawa Iemitsu's pox, which appears in the official text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, was located in Nihonbashi Ningyocho, Chuo-ku (the site of Genya Okamoto), but I confirmed where the tomb of Genya Okamoto was.

Genya Okamoto's tomb is located at the Mizuizumiyama Cemetery in Shounji Temple in Hiroo, Shibuya-ku. The tombstone in the middle of the photo is Genya Okamoto's tomb. The approach from Hiro Station on the Hibiya Line to Shounji Temple is still bustling with restaurants and public baths. The Mizuizumiyama Cemetery is famous because there are tombs related to the Kuroda family, such as the tomb of the first feudal lord Nagamasa Kuroda of the Fukuoka clan. Among them is Genya Okamoto's tomb, which has become thinner.

It was written that Genya Okamoto's tomb was not a tomb from the Edo period, but was rebuilt in 1942 because his descendants were broken by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923.

I would like to ask if the appearance in the text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification appears on the map by chance. Why don't you go to the site for a break to study for the exam?
