Hydrangeas (known as ‘ajisai’ in Japanese) are a symbol of early summer in Japan and are typically seen during the rainy season from early June to mid-July. ☔💜⁠

The peaceful grounds of Amabikisan Rakuhoji (Amabiki Kannon), a temple in Ibaraki Prefecture is perfect for a quiet stroll. The temple holds a Hydrangea Festival from mid-June to mid-July each year, featuring over 100 varieties and 5,000 hydrangea plants. ⁠
