Hydrangea temple in the rainy season

This year again, we would like to inform you of the status of color change at the famous hydrangea temple " Koutokuji".

Because the rainy season started early this year, we are delivering earlier color changes than usual, which usually begin in early June.

Color change

June 20 (Sun.)

The best time to see the flowers continues, but the overall peak seems to have passed.

 

 

 

June 13 (Sun.)

The hydrangeas continue to be at their best. Some plants are still in the beginning stages of flowering, and visitors can enjoy hydrangeas of various colors and shapes.

 

 

 

June 6 (Sun.)

The season is about a week earlier than usual.

Some of them are just starting to flower, so we will be able to enjoy a longer viewing period this year.

 

 

 

Thursday, May 27

The number of buds is gradually increasing and more and more plants are flowering.

 

 

 

Sunday, May 23

The buds were gradually coming out, perhaps due to the sunny weather during the break in the rainy season.

The colors are changing little by little. If the weather continues to be favorable, the best time to view the flowers will be next week.

 

 

 

Monday, May 17

Less than 10% of the hydrangeas are beginning to change color.

The best time to see the flowers is usually around mid-June, but since the rainy season started early, they may be at their best a little earlier.
