Geocache Description:

A little park near Mizonokuchi-station.

This park is made at the place where used to be the residence of Oka family who had been running their clinic here since the late Edo priod.
It is said that the clinic is the model of Kurosawa movie "Red Beard".
I've prepared three prizes for FTF, STF and TTF.

久本薬医門公園は、江戸時代の後期から代々医業を営んできた岡家の跡地に作られた、溝の口駅近くの公園です。公園内には、薬医門と蔵、日本庭園の一部が残されています（一部は復元だと思います）。ここにあった診療所は、黒澤映画の「赤ひげ」のモデルとなったそうです。
FTF, STF及びTTFの3つの賞を用意しました。
