As you may know, there are many sights of Hydrangea in Tokyo and its surroundings,but have you ever felt unhappy due to being crowded with too many tourists?
Then, how about visiting Kita-Ibaraki Hydrangea Forest(Ajisai-no-Mori in Japanese),Ibaraki prefecture? It would be a heavenly spot for Hydrangea lovers.
From Tokyo, take the JR Joban line express "Hitachi" to Isohara Station,磯原,(2 hours). It takes 10 minutes by taxi from the station.
This spot is characterized by many varieties. Surrounded by ceder trees, about 28000 lovely Hydrangea of 1200 different species welcome your visit. When walking on this ground,you are sure to forget the crowd of the capital and feel relaxed in peace and quiet.
They are at their best soon.
As a local guide, I can show you this fabulous spot including Hanazono Shrine , a spiritual place, from the heart.
I am looking forward to seeing you here.
