The Japanese Red Cross Hospital, the predecessor, was relocated to the current location in 1891. In front of the bus stop there is a circa 500-year-old tree, which is the largest gingko in the area with a perimeter of 4.7 meters or more, and was designated a natural monument in Shibuya-ku. The Empress is appointed as the Honorary Governor since 1949.[4]
