Japanese Red Cross Medical Center

The Japanese Red Cross Medical Center

The Japanese Red Cross Medical Center(JRC Medical Center) is a hospital located in Hiroo, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. It is the central medical center of the Japanese Red Cross Society, and directly directly controlled by it. The site of Hiroo, Tokyo, where the medical center is currently located, was where a mansion of Horita Binakamori once stood.

The Japanese Red Cross Hospital, the predecessor, was relocated to the current location in 1891 (Meiji 24). 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 (Showa 24).
