Katsu Kaishū’s Birthplace
A small commemorative site marking the birthplace of Meiji-era statesman Katsu Kaishū. Shoot the preserved façade, informational plaques, period details and the contrast between the modest single-building site and modern Ryōgoku surroundings. Best light is early morning or late afternoon for soft side light; weekdays are quieter. Easily reached by train (Ryōgoku station); limited on-street parking. Respect signage and locals—this is a historical memorial, not a studio.
