Partners Information: In Japan, there are plants which symbolise the seasons like the cherry blossoms in spring and the vivid autumn colours.
Hydrangeas are flowers that bloom in early summer and can be seen at Koyasan from the last half of June to the end of July. The temperature of the sacred area of Koyasan, located at 900 metres above sea level, stays around 25 degrees and is cooler than other parts of the country, even in July.
As such, hydrangeas bloom later than other parts of Japan.
Summer in Japan can be hot and humid and Koyasan makes the perfect summer retreat. Enjoy the bright pinks and blues of hydrangea season in early summer.
