Although the climate is uncertain in May, the hydrangea of "Akatsuki Park" (7-19-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku) in Tsukiji is expanding the buds properly. There is a bust of Siebold to commemorate the place where Siebold's daughter, Rice, opened as an obstetrician.
Siebold is also known for introducing many Japanese plants to Western Europe. One of them is hydrangea, and after the flower he loved, the Tsukiji Reservation Study Group will hold a hydrangea festival (lecture) on May 19, 2018 (Saturday). The descendants of Siebold have been invited to the lecturer. After the two lectures, there will be an excursion around a monument indicating that Tsukiji was a settlement, so I think it's fun.

The venue is a classroom opened at St. Luke's International University in 2016 and is comfortable and beautiful.
"Hey! Is it so?" I'm sure it's a full Saturday afternoon! Why don't you touch the deep history of Chuo-ku?
