On the first weekend after the rainy season 
was announced all at once from Shikoku to Kanto Koshin, we took a walk in Hamacho Park in good weather
.
Here Hamacho Park is a park in Chuo Ward located in 2-chome, Nihonbashi-Hamacho, and is the largest park in Chuo-ku.
Because the park is large, you can find a variety of things that make you feel the changing seasons when you take a walk.
Kinshibai, Japanese willow and bigleaf hydrangea, which I introduced on this blog the other day, are also in bloom.
There was an explanation board in the park called "Small friends of Hamacho Park", and I was glad that there were so many birds and butterflies.
Originally there was the Shimoyashiki of the Kumamoto feudal lord Hosokawa family during the Edo period, and in the park there is Kiyomasa Koji Temple, which enshrines the Kato Kiyomasa, built by Kumamoto feudal lord Narimori Hosokawa.
There is the Chuo Ward Sports Center
in the park, and on August 20, the annual "Tug of War Festival" and "Summer Festival 2017" will be held.

The park faces the Sumida River, and you can see the Tokyo Sky Tree over the Sumida River.
