Kamakura's Top 5 Hydrangea Spots | See the Sights in This City of Flowers
Kanto Tour Hydrangeas | 2023.05.26 |
In Japan, early summer means appreciating hydrangeas! The country is far more famous for its ubiquitous cherry blossom gardens, which blossom in spring and can be found drawing huge crowds all over the country. But their flower admiration doesn't end with those dainty pink petals; the country's beautiful hydrangea bushes also attract lots of attention, and one of the best spots for hydrangeas is Kamakura! We've mentioned before that you can charter a travel taxi to get you to the best flower viewing spots all over Kamakura and Enoshima Island, but no matter how you get there, it's worth a trip!
