Original Text

　It is the site of the birthplace of Koan Ogata, a Dutch scholar, medical scientist and educator in the late Edo period. There are no houses anymore, and only the wells that took the hot water remain. It is located in an area separated from the townscape of Ashimori and the river, and it is a little difficult to understand, but the road sign called "Koan Michi" is a landmark. The name of the tunnel on National Highway 429 running behind the birthplace is "Koan Tunnel". It is said that there are stone monuments and statues built later, and the ridge and hair of Koan are buried in the basement of the monument.
