 <\/p>\n

Today we will introduce you to some of the best places in Nara to see beautiful hydrangeas during the rainy season\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Did you know that hydrangeas change color depending on the acidity (PH) of the soil?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The color changes depending on the year, time, and location, so you can enjoy a variety of different expressions\ud83c\udfb6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hydrangeas bloom during the rainy season\u2614\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2605Recommended Hydrangea Spots\u2605<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Hannya Temple (Nara City)]<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is said that the temple dates back to the Asuka period when Goguryeo monk Huikan built a temple here\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is famous as a flower temple, and is also known as the “Cosmos Temple” because about 150,000 cosmos flowers bloom there in the fall\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the rainy season through early summer, about 300 hydrangeas decorate the temple grounds\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The “Hydrangea Glass Ball,” which began in 2021, is a glass ball with hydrangea flowers placed inside a spherical glass\ud83c\udfb5<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has attracted attention on social media (Instagram, etc.) and has become a popular spot with a sharp increase in visitors in June\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hannya-ji Temple is the pioneer of this “hydrangea glass ball” (\u22c8\u25cd\uff1e\u25e1\uff1c\u25cd). \u2727\u2661<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are plenty of other things to see within the temple grounds\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[Yatadera Temple (Yamatokoriyama City)]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yata-dera Temple is actually called Yata-san Kongo-san Temple.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in the middle of Yata-yama, in the center of the Yata Hills, it is one of the sacred places where Jizo worship originated\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Yataji Temple, we started planting hydrangeas around 1965 in honor of Jizo, the principal deity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also known as the “Hydrangea Temple,” the temple grounds are home to approximately 10,000 hydrangeas of 60 different varieties, from climbing hydrangeas that begin to bloom in mid-May to Chinese hydrangeas that bloom around September.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[Hasedera Temple (Sakurai City)]<\/strong><\/p>\n

The origins of Hasedera Temple date back to 686, when the monk Domyo placed a copperplate Lotus Sutra painting on the Nishinooka hill of Mount Hatsuse for Emperor Tenmu\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is also dated to 727, when Tokudo Shonin first created the principal image of the temple, the Eleven-Headed Kannon Bodhisattva.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hasedera Temple, also known as the “Temple of Flowers,” is filled with beautiful flowers that bloom throughout the seasons \ud83c\udfb6<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 3,000 hydrangeas are in full bloom from mid-June to early July each year \u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hydrangeas are blooming all over the mountain (\u22c8\u25cd\uff1e\u25e1\uff1c\u25cd). \u2727\u2661<\/strong><\/p>\n

Especially on the “Arashi no Saka” slope leading from the Niomon Gate, hydrangeas decorate both sides of the stone steps, making it a delight to see\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hydrangeas bloom in full glory during the rainy season\u2614<\/strong><\/p>\n

They brighten the viewer’s day during this season when it can be easy to feel depressed\ud83c\udfb5\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why not rent a kimono or yukata and enjoy the seasonal scenery?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s sure to look great in photos\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From June to September, we mainly rent yukata, but<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also have summer kimonos (single layered kimonos) available\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has a different feel to yukata and is recommended (\u22c8\u25cd\uff1e\u25e1\uff1c\u25cd). \u2727\u2661<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also have kimonos for formal occasions, such as Homongi, Furisode, and Shichi-Go-San all year round\ud83c\udfb5<\/strong><\/p>\n
