Tsukiji River Park in Akashicho is a park that was originally reclaimed from the Tsukiji River, but roses are blooming in two flower beds around the ruins of the Akatsuki Bridge bridge in it (map below, red)

Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the rose, but it's a beautiful single-flowered red rose.

It has a large number of flowers in bloom (spray bloom).

The contrast between the silver leaf of Shirotaegiku, the origin of the plant, and the yellow flower, makes the color of the flower even more prominent. As a companion plant for roses, it was a new discovery that Shirotaegiku fits so well.

On the sidewalk of St. Luke International Hospital, which separates the road from Tsukiji River Park where these roses are blooming, there are monuments of "Takumi Asanouchi's House Ruins" and "The birthplace of Ryunosuke Akutagawa" (map above, purple ☆)

It is said that Uchi Takumito's residence was 9,000 tsubo at the time, but after a famous blade wound incident in Chushingura, he was called to the Shogunate.

In addition, Ryunosuke Akutagawa was born near here, and his father, Toshizo Niihara, ran a ranch called Komakisha and manufactured and sold milk and butter to foreign partners. . This neighborhood is a foreign settlement, and Japanese people were not allowed to live, but they were exceptionally allowed because they were engaged in business with foreign partners.
