[Hydrangea - Best Viewing] Daiyuzan Saijoji (Daiyuzan Hydrangea Path)

Daiyuzan Saijoji is a historic Soto Zen temple with a 600-year history since its founding. The approach lined with cedar trees said to be over 500 years old is also called the Daiyuzan hydrangea approach, with about 10,000 hydrangeas planted along the approximately 2.5 km from Nio-mon to the temple grounds. During the season, a variety of colorful hydrangeas, including pink and purple, bloom beautifully, creating a stunning scene. Enjoy around 10,000 hydrangeas such as Otagusa, Gakuajisai, and Sumidanohanabi.

Date & Time

Note

Viewing is possible anytime. The event dates are a guideline for the best viewing period; the timing may vary due to weather conditions. Typically, blooming occurs from early to mid-June, and the best viewing lasts until early July. Please be aware that pruning work is scheduled for after early July (usually around the 10th), so it is recommended to check in advance when visiting after July.
