Azaleas in full bloom on a hill overlooking the Sea of Japan
Kaneko Tsutsuji Garden features about 3,500 azaleas grown from cuttings over two generations on a private hill spanning approximately 5,500 square meters. The white azalea flowers that bloom abundantly across the slope create a stunning landscape, complemented by the red azaleas that bloom sporadically. Climbing to the top of the hill where the azaleas bloom, visitors are greeted with a breathtaking view of the blue Sea of Japan beyond the flowers. ■ Remarks As Kaneko Tsutsuji Garden is a private garden open to the public, please observe good manners while viewing.
