“Tsu-yu”(Rainy Season) at Mimurotoji Temple, here appears an Ajisai(Hydrangea) blue world. This temple located at south side of Kyoto has a very famous garden where 10,000-Hydrangea are planted at.
Sanzen-in temple located in the countryside in the northern part of Kyoto City is a little far but worth a visit.
Fujimori Shrine at this timing is famous for its hydrangea garden. However this year there seems to be few flowers. So unfortunately we cannot recommend it much.
This white noble flower called “Cape jasmine” in English is also many planted as street trees in downtown Kyoto. And now is the flowering season. It is a sweet and rich fragrant flower.
If you visit “Sanjusangendo Temple” or “Kyoto National Museum”, stop by this “Chishaku-in Temple” as well. Hydrangea is at its best now.
If you visit Heian jingu Shrine, let’s also enter the garden. You can enjoy Japanese style gardens and flowers of the four seasons.
The garden of “Umenomiya Taisha Shrine” is famous for enjoying the seasonal flowers.
Now Iris (Japanese name: Hana-shobu) and hydrangea also is coming up.
Syodenji – also “Shakkei” of Mt. Hiei.
And also David Bowie loved.
This temple was originally built as an emperor’s villa, making use of the scenery of Mt. Hiei as it is in the scenery of the garden.
