Hydrangea, ‘Ajisai’ in Kamakura

‘Hydrangea in Kamakura’ is the one of the most popular tourism attraction in June around Tokyo.

While Kamakura is famous sight of an old city in all season, it is especially lovely in hydrangea season. Phenomenal huge number of hydrangeas bloom from the middle of June to the first of July in the garden of temples in Kamakura. You would enjoy walk, fascinated by combination of the traditional temples and the hydrangeas garden.
