It's a hydrangea flower.

Hydrangea is a flower that you can see in Chuo-ku in the city, and can be said to be a flower that blends into the scenery of the city of Chuo-ku. Among them, one of the places I think is good is around St. Luke Hospital in Akashicho. The hydrangea that blooms in this exotic place is special because it feels strangely giving peace to the heart.

By the way, this flower is a hydrangea called "Sumida Fireworks", and my blog name is taken from the name of this flower.

The buildings shown with the flowers are the "Toysler Memorial Hall" and "Toysler House". Originally located on the banks of the Sumida River, it was dismantled when the St. Luke's Tower was built, and then restored to its current location. Beside it, this hydrangea, which looks a little Western-style, opens like fireworks of the Sumida River in summer. Isn't it very good?

Hydrangea that blooms in the coming rainy season. I think you can see the photos I took in the past, but when the blue sky or the sun shines, the photos are bad. It's strange that the cloudy one looks better. It is such a flower that the sky that seems to be raining lightly is more lively.

Akashicho, where St. Luke's is located, was the place where foreign settlements were located when the country opened. Therefore, there are many historical sites scattered around here. The monument to the site of the U.S. Embassy just mentioned is next to the Toysler Memorial Hall, but it is also in a different place. It's around the Sumida River from the exit of St. Luke's Tower, where hydrangea blooms during the rainy season.

When I was organizing the photos I took in the past, I noticed that I was taking pictures of hydrangea around St. Luke's almost every year. Depending on the climate of the year, the care and pruning, it blooms differently every year. There are times when it doesn't bloom at all. How about this year? I think I was walking naturally around St. Luke's with a good atmosphere.

The headwater of this neighborhood is located in the history of Akashicho. If you like history, it is recommended to take a look at the history a little and walk around Akashicho. Autumn leaves are good, but why don't you take a stroll during the season when this hydrangea blooms?

Akashicho is also attractive that you can easily get out of the waterside of the Sumida River. On the banks of the river, parents and children, couples, spend their time alone. I think it will rain more in the future, but why don't you go out with an umbrella to see the hydrangea flowers?
