From Lord Etchu-no-kami's side, Naruse Ikuemon, serving as Chief Steward-Magistrate (Goyōnin Bugyō); Hirose Daihachi, an assigned official of the Academy of Learning Magistrate's Office; and several others from the military units, gunnery sections, and lower-ranking staff were also sent out. Together with the Accounts Examining Officer (Kanjō Ginmi-yaku) Lord Shinoyama Jūhei, the Construction Officer and Deputy Magistrate (Fusin-yaku Odaikan) Lord Ōnuki Jirōemon, and their attached staff, the entire group arrived at Uraga, and proceeded to inspect sites previously identified at Kannonsaki, Tōmyōdō (lighthouse), and other locations, as well as potential sites for temporary lodging quarters and residential plots, conducting their survey…
