Jan Joosten van Lodensteijn Memorial

ヤン・ヨーステン記念碑

This memorial commemorates Jan Joosten van Lodensteijn, one of the first Dutchmen to arrive in Japan aboard the Liefde in 1600. He became a trusted advisor to Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, playing a significant role in early Japan-Netherlands relations. Located in the historic Yanaka district, it offers a glimpse into a lesser-known facet of Tokyo's rich past.
