Nagato Tourism Convention Association
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.
The best time to see the flowers continues, but the overall peak seems to have passed.
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.
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.
The number of buds is gradually increasing and more and more plants are flowering.
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.
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.

Add "#toanavi" to your photo of hydrangeas at Mukotokuji Temple.
To keep you up-to-date on the latest hydrangeas at Mukoude-ji, we will also introduce photos taken by visitors to Nanabi on this page.
We hope to create this year's "Hydrangea Viewing Spots in Mukoudeji" page with your wonderful photos.
Signs reading " Yanggui-no-Sato " are placed throughout the area, so please follow the directions.
Passing along the road, we descend.
After passing the "Kutsu Post Office," turn left.
At the last junction, turn left.
*Please "drive slowly" as the road becomes very narrow from here.
You will see hydrangeas on your right. It is more convenient to park your car on top.
When you turn right, there is a slope to go up.
At the end of the climb, turn left. You will see a large parking lot.
Please park as far back as possible.
