Tetsugakudo Koen 哲学堂公園 Philosophy Hall Park

The design is in a triangular form, like the Sangaku Tei 三学亭 triangluar pavillion for three philosophers.
This is a play of the sound sangaku and sankaku 三角 triangular.

- quote

Tetsugakudo Koen
Meiji-era philosopher Enryo Inoue founded this park in 1904 as a sanctuary for self-cultivation. The Shiseido building is dedicated to Confucius, the Buddha, Kant and Socrates, and was originally known as the Tetsugakudo (House of Philosophy), thus providing the park’s name.
The various buildings and sculptures are all physical manifestations of the spirit world, inviting visitors to embark on a journey of enlightenment and discovery.
1. This traditional wooden shrine memorialises four famous philosophers – Confucius and Buddha from the East, and Socrates and Kant from the West.
2. A red hexagonal tower pays tribute to six Asian sages, two each from China, Japan and India.
3. Every aspect of the park celebrates philosophy, including this serene triangular stone pavilion dedicated to three Japanese scholars.
4. The sound of water and the smile of a stone Buddha statue offers a relaxing spot to sit and meditate.
5. Even the design of the park’s gate encourages you to pause and think.

Tetsugaku-dō Park (哲学堂公園, Tetsugaku-dō Kōen)
("Park of the Philosophy Shrine" or "Temple Garden of Philosophy")
is a public park in Tokyo, Japan. Most of the park is in Nakano Ward, while approximately 7% (at the south-eastern edge) is in Shinjuku Ward.
It was created successively during the years 1904 to 1919 by the philosopher and founder of Toyo University, Inoue Enryō. Inoue thought of this philosophical theme park as a place for mental cultivation.

Inoue Enryō (井上円了, 1858 – 1919)

He is the founder of Toyo University and the creator of Tetsugaku-dō Park 哲学堂公園 (Temple Garden of Philosophy) in Tokyo. Because he studied apparitions (妖怪, yōkai) in order to debunk superstitions, he is sometimes called
Professor Specter (妖怪博士, Yōkai Hakase) and the

Guide to Monzen-Nakacho - Mon-Naka
Part of Tokyo's old downtown area, come here for izakaya, grilled mutton, fresh sushi, seafood ramen, cocktails and more
Located just one station away from hipster epicentre Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, known as Tokyo’s coffee central and home of the capital’s first Blue Bottle location, Monzen-Nakacho is considerably more down to earth than its lofty neighbour. An integral part of the capital’s ‘shitamachi’ (old downtown), it retains an Edo-era (1603-1868) atmosphere thanks to the storied Tomioka Hachiman Shrine and Fukagawa Fudoson Temple and the plethora of eateries and shops that have been around since the olden days. Monzen-Nakacho (locals call it 門仲‘Mon-Naka’) really comes into its own when night falls and the countless izakayas and small restaurants open, filling the air with tipsy chatter and smoke from charcoal grills. This is heaven for the budget-conscious drinker – if you know where to head, that is. Here are our picks.
- Tomioka Hachimangu ...
- Tatsumi Shindo
Only a quick stroll from Tomioka Hachiman is Tatsumi Shindo, a nostalgic entertainment district which retains a Showa period (1926-1989) feel. It centres on a narrow 50-metre-long street packed with tiny bars, including New Motsuyoshi, a stand bar with a meal ticket system. ...

Myooshoojigawa, Myōshōjigawa 妙正寺川 river Myoshojigawa



The name refers to the temple Myosho-Ji, where it starts.

- quote
... designated as a Class A river by the Japanese government with a length of 9.7 km and a basin area of 21.4 km².
It starts in the 妙正寺池（Myōshōji Temple pond in Suginami Ward, and joins the Edo River later on. It flows into the Kanda River (Takadanobaba Channel) in Shinjuku Ward.
東京都杉並区の妙正寺公園内妙正寺池（すぐそばにある妙正寺に由来）に源を発し、途中中野区松が丘二丁目で江古田川を合わせ、新宿区下落合一丁目の辰巳橋付近で神田川高田馬場分水路に合流する。

- Recent history
Due to the progress of urbanization, the water retention capacity of the Myōshōji River has fallen and there is an increasing risk of water damage. To cope with this situation, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has constructed revetments that can handle rainfall of up to 50 millimeters per hour.

Ninoe Myōshō-ji Temple 二之江 妙勝寺

Seaweed harvested in villages like Ninoe, 今井、船堀、桑川 Imai, Funabori, or Kuwakawa was called 葛西海苔 "Kasai-nori,"
and was a different type of seaweed from "Asakusa-nori".
Myōshō-ji is a temple of Nichiren Buddhism called "Hongaku-san Jōju-in." It also bore a responsibility called "Furegashira," which included controlling temples in the entire Kasai area and communicating the orders of the Shogunate's commissioner of temples and shrines.

Seijoo 成城 Seijo district
Setagaya, 成城一丁目 - 成城九丁目 from the first to the 9th sub-district



Until the Meiji period, it was a wilderness of forests in the Musashino plain, named
北多摩郡砧村大字喜多見 Kita Tama district, Kinuta village Daigaku Kitami

In 1925, the Seijoo Gakuen 成城学園 Seijo University was moved here, hence the name.
The name of the university refers back to an old Chinese poetry text, 詩経 Shikyo.
「哲夫成城」(哲夫城を成す)
城 meant the realm, so this means
"to assemble people who will be able to form our country"

Now an expensive residential area with famous universities.


成城学園 Seijo Gakuen University and educational center



- quote -
The area known as Seijo, in Setagaya Ward, is approximately fifteen minutes by rapid train from the central Shinjuku area, which means Seijo Gakuen is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in comfortable proximity to the city center. The school is also so close to the station that you can even see the university buildings as the train pulls in. This convenience factor makes Seijo an ideal location to commute to for students living off campus.
In addition to its easy access to the city center,
Seijo is surrounded by a lush natural environment, reminiscent of the old natural expanse of the Musashino area, and the greenery here is an unusual occurrence in the city of Tokyo. The Seijo Pond site on the grounds has even been listed as one of the 100 Best Views of Setagaya. At Seijo Gakuen, students enjoy nature on a daily basis, which is yet another factor that makes our campus highly conducive to growth and learning.
- The surrounding town takes the name of Seijo Gakuen
At the present time, Seijo is well-known as a quiet residential area. Seijo Gakuen moved to this barren space in 1925, when the area was called Kinuta Village, Kita-tama, under the jurisdiction of Tokyo Prefecture. Records show that the school purchased and divided the land, upon which the college town was built.
The Odakyu Line
was launched in April 1927, from which time the name "Seijo Gakuen" was used for the station name. In 1936, when the area was absorbed into the Tokyo metropolitan, the district name was changed to "Seijo-machi, Setagaya Ward."
"Kinuta Village" thus became "Seijo,"
taking the name of our school. Cherry blossom, gingko, and other seedlings planted by Seijo Gakuen students at the time the school was relocated here now decorate the town throughout the seasons, and are currently something of a local seasonal attraction. Up until the mid-fifties and early sixties, the line of cherry blossom trees stretching north from the North Exit of Seijo Gakuen to intersect with gingko trees was called "Sawayanagi Street," a name symbolic of how integral a part Seijo Gakuen is of the town of Seijo.

Kichijoojimura 吉祥寺村 Kichijo-Ji village
武蔵野市 Musashino-Shi 吉祥寺 Kichijoji, 北 Kita, 南 Minami, 東 Higashi districts



Its former name was
北多摩郡吉祥寺村 Kita-Tama district, Kichijoji mura

It was a village along the beginning of the

- quote
Kichijōji (吉祥寺) is a neighborhood in the city of Musashino in Tokyo, Japan.
It is centered on the compact but very popular commercial area to the north of its train station and to the south a little and has an artistic, fashionable, from discount to the highest end shops and restaurants, bars and coffee houses.


Kichijōji Station
is served by the Chūō Line which go up to Tokyo central station just in 30 minutes, Sobu Line, Tozai Line and is also a terminus of the Keiō Inokashira Line, which takes passengers as far as Shibuya, another one of most fashionable shopping centers in Tokyo.
The area is one of the most popular areas for younger people to spend their weekend, because it features one of Tokyo's most varied and complete shopping areas, as well as the almost constantly crowded Inokashira Park together with its zoo. Supporting the fact of its popularity is that it's been voted to the number 1 place every year where people in Japan wish they would live since 1990s according to poll by a magazine.
- - - - - History
This town was named after the Kichijō-ji Temple which was located in Bunkyō City, Tokyo, before being destroyed by fire in the year 1657. This temple, in turn, derived its name from the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, corresponding to Kisshōten in Japan.
During the Great fire of Meireki,
the town in front of Suwazan Kichijō-ji Temple gate, Edo's Hongo Motomachi was destroyed by fire. Afterwards, based on town planning, the Shogunate rebuilt the area for Daimyō residences. Since the residents who used to live in front of Kichijo-ji gate had suffered great loss of residence and farm land, the shogunate's official reed lands named "Reno" and "Mureno" were provided as substitute land for them. Those hoping to apply were given a rice stipend and house construction loans with a 5 year limit. Kichijo-ji samurai, 佐藤定右衛門 Sato Sadaemon and 宮崎甚右衛門 Miyazaki Jinemon, in cooperation with local farmer 松井十郎左衛門 Matsui Jurozaemon, opened up the eastern district of present day Musashino and relocated the residents there.
Soon after,
with the opening of the 玉川上水 Tamagawa Aqueduct, the previously poorly watered uninhabited Musashino Plateau was cultivated, turning it into a vast farmland. In the process, the neatly partitioned thin rectangular shaped plots of land along Itsukaichi Kaidō (currently Tokyo Metropolitan Route 7, Suginami Akiruno Line) were formed. Some migrants were granted great lengths of land of more than 1000 meters long in the land area extending from Itsukaichi Kaidō to the Tamagawa Aqueduct, up to where the 千川上水 Senkawa Aqueduct divides. But the soil was not particularly fertile, so all of the farmland became dry soil fields, with no wet rice fields. Because of the residents who still had attachment to the former Kichijo-ji,
the new fields were named Kichijōji Village. .....

Kokubunji shi 国分寺市 Kokubunji city



- quote
Kokubunji is a city located in the western portion of Tokyo Metropolis.
Kokubunji is located on the Musashino Terrace of western Tokyo, approximately in the geographic centre of Tokyo Metropolis.
- History
The area of present-day Kokubunji was part of ancient Musashi Province, and was the site of the Nara period Provincial temple of that province. In the post-Meiji Restoration reform of 1878, the area became part of Kita^Tama District in Kanagawa Prefecture. The village of Kokubunji was created on April 1, 1889 with the establishment of municipalities law. Kita-Tama District was transferred to the administrative control of Tokyo Metropolis on April 1, 1893. Kokubunji was elevated to town status in 1940, and to city status on November 3, 1964.

　Koigakubo, Koi-ga-kubo 恋ヶ窪 "cave of love"
Kokubunji city, 東 Higashi-Koigakubo, 西 Nishi-Koigakubo, Eastern and Western sub-district

It is located on a plain and has rich water supplies, including the river 野川 Nogawa from Higashikoigakubo, flowing into the river 摩川水 Tamagawa.
In the many ponds of old lived koi 鯉 carp fish, giving a name to the area, 鯉ヶ窪 "hollow with carp fish".



The city used to be a postal station along the Kamakura Kaido Highway with many red-light districts.

The name might also relate to a story around 1200.
This is the love story of Hatakeyama Shigetada and the courtesan 夙妻太夫 Asazuma Dayu.


source : onboumaru : 夙妻太夫 -

Shigetada was the lord of the land, but Asazuma was just a very beautiful prostitute of the village. Shigetada's main residence was in 埼玉県大里郡川本庁 Saitama and on his way to and from Kamakure he stopped here to see his beloved. Then Shigetada was ordered to go to Western Japan to fight. When he told Asazuma about his absence, she felt she would never see him again and was very sad. She begged him to take her with him. This was not possible so she remained here, crying all day long.
Another visitor fell in love with Asazuma, but she did not accept him as her lover.



When she heard of the death of Shigetada, she was overcome with grief and threw herself into the pond 姿見の池 Sugatami no Ike.
She was buried near the pond and a pine tree grew near her grave. This tree stretched all its branches to the West, as if to find her lover far away. The pine needles had 一葉 only one needle, an expression of her singular love for Shigetada.
The pond has been filled in 1965, but was reopened in 1998, now called 遊水地 Yusuichi.
- You might have guessed, Shigetada had not died at all and eventually came back. When he learned the fate of Asazuma, he grieved and built a small temple for her, named 無量山道成寺 Dojo-Ji. He had a statue of Amida Nyorai made and prayed there every day.

- quote -
Koigakubo, Amida-dō hall, Keisei-ga-matsu, Gozu-tennō Shrine
Koigakubo thrived since ancient times as an inn post on the highway which links the Tōhoku and Hokuriku Regions to Kyoto and Kamakura. Sugatami-no-Ike pond was a place around here where a prostitute named Asazuma Dayū drowned herself overwhelmed by her sorrow when she heard the news that Hatakeyama Shigetada, a warlord who loved her dearly, had been killed in a battle.
The pine tree of matchless beauty is a burial mound for Asazuma and Amida-dō hall is said to have been built for Shigetada who died in the war and there remained many historic spots related to Shigetada and Asazuma in Koigakubo.
