Siebold was a man who brought Western medicine to Japan at the start of the 19th century, and trained many Japanese physicians. This building was the school where he taught his students medicine, as well as his home and clinic. It suffered serious damage during a typhoon in 1874, but now a bust of Siebold in his latter years has been created in the center of the ruins. Otaksa (hydrangea) flowers, named after his beloved wife Otaki, serenely bloom in June.
Next to the ruins is the red-brick Siebold Memorial Museum. It displays medical devices and documents from the period, and visitors can experience the source of the Western medicine that developed in Japan. In addition to medicine, you can also learn about the history of exchange between the West and Japan, making this a very interesting destination.
