Lonely Planet review for Dr Siebold's House
Near Shin-Nakagawamachi tram stop is the site of Dr Siebold's house, an imposing Western-style structure, set in a leafy residential neighbourhood of narrow lanes and flower boxes. The doctor helped introduce Western medicine and scientific learning to Japan between 1823 and 1829, though he was eventually expelled for trying to smuggle Japanese goods. His daughter Ine was one of Japan's first female obstetricians.
