変わりゆく観光地 Changing Tourist Attractions |

房総半島の南部、鴨川市と君津市にまたがる山間部に東京大学千葉演習林があります。明治27(1894)年に、日本で最初の大学演習林として創設されました。かつて、この演習林のいっかくに、鹿などの動物を飼って一般に公開していた施設、野獣園がありました。周辺には、清澄寺、誕生寺、鯛の浦の名所旧跡などがあり、野獣園はこれらと並んで、人気の観光スポットとなっていたようです。 佐倉藩の重税に苦しむ農民を助けるために、幕府に直訴した義民佐倉惣五郎(宗吾)ゆかりの場所を巡る旅も、人気の観光ルートであったようです。宗吾の霊を祀った宗吾霊堂、宗吾旧宅、江戸へ直訴に向かう宗吾のために禁制を破って印旛沼を渡らせた甚兵衛ゆかりの渡しなどの絵はがきが数多く残されています。絵はがきを調べていくと、観光地の盛衰がわかります。 |

The University of Tokyo Chiba Forest, located in the southern part of the Boso Peninsula, extending over Kamogawa-shi and Kimitsu-shi, was established in 1894 as the first university forest in Japan. There once was a wildlife park where deer and other wild animals were kept and which was open to the public in the forest. It seems that the park was one of the most popular sightseeing spots in the region, along with Seicho-ji Temple, Tanjo-ji Temple and the little cove of Taino-ura. Trips to places associated with Sakura Sogoro, a self-sacrificing individual who made a direct plea to the shogunate to save peasants suffering from the heavy taxation of the Sakura clan, appear to have been well liked as well. Numerous Sogoro-related postcards were produced, such as those depicting the Sogo Reido sanctuary where Sogoro is enshrined, Sogoro’s old house and Jimbei’s jetty, where Jimbei the boatman carried Sogoro in his rowing boat to cross Lake Imbanuma, even though Jimbei knew it was a most serious offence to help someone who was heading for Edo to appeal directly to the shogunate. A close examination of such picture postcards reveals the rise and fall of tourist attractions. |
