Surrounded by Ginza 5-chome, Yasuaki Elementary School, Tokyu Plaza Ginza, and Harumi-dori St., Sukiyabashi Park is located.

Several Kashiwaba hydrangeas (Kashiwaba hydrangea) in this park are beginning to bloom.

A deciduous shrub of the Hydrangea genus Hydrangea, native to southeastern North America.

Compared to other hydrangeas, the name is derived from the fact that the leaves are large and deep cut, resembling the leaves of Kashiwa.

In addition, a large conical inflorescence is also characteristic.

The part that looks like a flower is called "ornamental flower", which has greatly developed gaku.

This park plays an oasis role in the city, and now the only flower in the park, the white flower of Kashiwaba hydrangea, softened the hearts of those who are taking a break in the park.
