Roadside Station Seisyu no Sato

3.0

This roadside station is located about ten minutes by car from the Keinawa Expressway Kinokawa-Higashi Interchange. Its Flower Hill Museum complex designed by Kisho Kurokawa has an exhibition room with items and documents belonging to Hanaoka Seishu, the surgeon responsible for the world's first successful surgical removal of breast cancer by general anesthesia. Shunrinken, the surgeon's residence and clinic, has been relocated here. There's a realistic replication of surgery during the period as well as experiments with the anesthetic Tsusensan using mannequins and sound. There's a restaurant on the premises too.

郷土の名医を顕彰

江戸時代の外科医・華岡青洲の偉業をたたえる展示コーナーでは当時の手術道具などがあるほか、「紫雲膏」なる塗り薬も販売しています。また、敷地内にJAが運営する直売所が昨年オープンし、あわせて駐車場も拡張されたので利用しやすいです。
ありがたい存在

紀の川から名張に抜ける通りすがりでトイレ利用。施設内には華岡青洲の記念館があるようだが、立ち寄りが夜だったのでまったくわからなかった。規模はさほどではない道の駅だが、通りすがりのトイレ利用には心強い存在。

ふらり立ち寄った道の駅。駐車場のまわりに植えられている、はなもものはなが満開。人も少なく、ゆっくりお花見がでしました。
