ABOUT

Set against the backdrop of Hakusan Shrine and Hakusan Park, the Bunkyo Hydrangea Festival will once again brighten the rainy season this year.
Around 3,000 colorful hydrangea plants will welcome visitors.

A wide variety of hydrangea species bloom in harmony, and their rain-soaked appearance is breathtakingly beautiful.
The usually closed Fujizuka mound will also be specially open to the public.
Please enjoy this unique scenery surrounded by hydrangeas.
