| Description |
English: French Hill, or Mount France, is the location of the former French barracks and French consulate north of the current Minato-no-Mieru Oka Koen (Harbor View Park) (港の見える丘公園 みなとのみえるおかこうえん), in Yamate, Naka-ku, Yokohama. [1] France sent Marines to Yokohama from 1863 to 1875 dispatching them to the hills of Yamate to protect its citizens, foreign settlements and harbors. When the barracks were no longer needed, the Marines transferred permanent tenure on the French hills to French diplomatic missions. The French consulate in Yokohama has proposed the construction of a consulate here. After the restoration of imperial rule in 1869 and the signing of the extraterritorial treaty, the marines withdrew in 1875 and the French Consulate was built on the same site in 1894, now known as 'French Hill'.The original consulate was destroyed in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. Yokohama City acquired the French Hill area from France in 1971 and developed it as part of Minato-no-Mieru Oka Koen, and was finally opened to the public in 1972.
日本語: フレンチヒル、またはフランス山とは、現在の横浜市中区山手町の港の見える丘公園の北に旧フランス兵舎とフランス領事館があった場所を指します。フランスは1863年から1875年まで海兵隊を横浜に派遣し、市民、外国人居留地、港を守るために山手山地に派遣しました。兵舎が不要になったとき、海兵隊はフランスの丘の常任権をフランスの外交使節団に移しました。横浜のフランス領事館は、ここに領事館の建設を提案しています。1869年の帝国統治の回復と領土外条約の調印後、海軍は1875年に撤退し、1894年にフランス領事館が同じ場所に建設され、現在は「フレンチヒル」として知られています。 1923年の関東大震災で荒廃した。横浜市は1971年にフランスからフレンチヒルエリアを取得し、1972年にようやく一般公開された 港の見える丘公園「ハーバービューパーク」の一部としてゆっくりと発展しました。 |
