About this place
The Former Residence of Fukuzawa Yukichi is the old residence in Nakatsu, Oita Prefecture, where Fukuzawa Yukichi spent his childhood and youth. A National Historic Site. A memorial museum is attached. Born in 1835 (Tenpo 5) at the Nakatsu Domain's storehouse residence in Osaka (now Osaka), Fukuzawa Yukichi returned to the domain at the age of one year and six months on the death of his father, and spent time here until he was 19. Yukichi studied Confucianism under Shiraishi Shozan, a Confucian scholar of the Nakatsu Domain who had opened a private school nearby, but at his brother's recommendation left for Nagasaki to study Dutch learning.
