At the intersection of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge in Akashicho, there is an information board that I did not notice until now.
It is an information board set up by the Green Division of the Environment and Civil Engineering Department in Chuo-ku.
Donation by the Tree of Friendship dogwood Initiative
In 1912, when the then mayor of Tokyo Yukio Ozaki donated 3,000 cherry trees to the United States, dogwood was a tree that was sent to Japan in 1915 (1915) in return.
In 2012, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the donation of Sakura, and in anticipation of future friendship between Japan and the United States, the United States launched the dogwood Initiative, a project to plant approximately 3,000 dogwood trees throughout Japan.
Akashicho is a place that has a deep relationship with the United States, with the establishment of the United States envoy for 16 years from 1874 (1874).
Based on the history of this area, the project donated 20 dogwood trees and planted them on St. Luke Street and Akashicho Green Road (see left figure).
This is an explanation.
I see, I read the description of the United States and dogwood at Hibiya Park, but I did not know that it was newly planted on St. Luke Street and Akashicho Green Road.
I can't wait to see the spring where dogwood enjoys us with white flowers (actually Gakugaku).
According to the calendar, it is already spring.
The historic walk
around St. Luke International Hospital will be fun.
On the premises of St. Luke's International Hospital, a monument to the site of the U.S. Embassy, and a stone monument with 13 stripes of star-line flags.
You can also see the related monument in the porch on the second floor of St. Luke's Tower,
The surrounding area is the birthplace of the mission school, so you can see the monuments of Kaigan Girls' School, the predecessor of Meiji Gakuin University, and Aoyama Gakuin University.
The photo shows the traces of Henry Falls' residence in the planting in front of St. Luke's Tower and his fingerprints academically studied and published in the British scientific journal Nature.
Nearby is Mr. Shiose of Japan's bunsho.
On the way back to Tsukiji Station, you will also buy cakes at the newly opened "Ginza Sembikiya Tsukiji Store" opposite the daily sports.
If you are a little tired, we also recommend delicious Japanese tea and sweets with fish shore famous tea.
Personally, I like Tenchiku and "Takeno" and a cup
near the outside market.
Please enjoy meals 
and shopping
around Akashicho and Tsukiji.

the surprise that each of the 10 people actually looked at the poster was so different.
