Hakusan Shrine and Hakusan Park (Bunkyo Ward)
A famous flower spot where the grounds and park are completely colored with hydrangeas

Hakusan Shrine and Hakusan Park in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, are nationally known as famous hydrangea viewing spots that reach their peak in June every year. In the shrine grounds and the adjacent park, about 3,000 hydrangeas bloom in full glory, creating a scene that can only be seen during the rainy season.
Hakusan Shrine, known as a shrine with a long history, was founded in 948 and is one of the Ten Shrines of Tokyo, where people are also worshipped as the god of marriage. Colorful hydrangeas bloom all over the historic grounds, and the view of the worship hall through the hydrangeas makes for a tranquil and atmospheric photo, making it popular with camera enthusiasts.
Additionally, the Fujizuka mound between the temple grounds and the park is specially opened to the public only during this time of year, and here too, beautiful hydrangeas bloom in abundance.

The Bunkyo Hydrangea Festival is held every June, and is one of the attractions of the area, attracting many visitors. In 2025, it will be held from June 7th to June 15th. A stroll around the shrine and enjoy the hydrangeas will be a great way to forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

Takahatafudoson Kongo-ji Temple (Takahatasan Myoo-in Kongo-ji Temple) in Hino City is a special head temple of the Chizan school of Shingon Buddhism, and has long been considered one of the three great Fudo temples in the Kanto region. It is also known as the family temple of Shinsengumi vice-commander Toshizo Hijikata, and is a place where history and culture are strongly present.
In early summer, the temple grounds are covered with over 7,800 hydrangeas of about 250 varieties, creating a landscape of hydrangeas. The Hydrangea Festival, held from June 1st to June 30th, is full of things to see, such as the hydrangeas blooming against the backdrop of the five-story pagoda, the flowers along the walking paths, and the mountain hydrangea garden that spreads through the forest.
In particular, the five-story pagoda seen through the hydrangeas is a classic photogenic spot. Hydrangeas also bloom on both sides of the stone steps, creating an emotional landscape. Many events are held during the festival, such as the "Yamauchi 88 Temples Quiz Tour," "Plant Market," and "Photo Contest," making it popular with families and photography enthusiasts.

Ueno Park, which spreads across Taito Ward, Tokyo, is known as a cultural area with museums, a zoo, and an art gallery, but it is also a park rich in nature where you can enjoy seasonal flowers. In particular, during hydrangea season, it is a rare spot where you can enjoy the contrast between the historical buildings and the flowers.
The best place to see hydrangeas in the garden is the area around the west side of Shinobazu Pond. The colorful flowers that bloom all around the pond add a vibrant color to the waterside scenery. Hydrangeas are also planted on the promenade leading to Bentendo, so it's also recommended as a relaxing stroll along the edge of the pond.

Also, the hydrangeas viewed while riding a boat are a special sight. Hanazono Inari Shrine in the park is also attracting attention as a spot where you can enjoy the combination of a torii tunnel and hydrangeas, creating a fantastical landscape that is different from other famous spots.
This is one of Tokyo's best hydrangea walking spots, where you can enjoy a balanced mix of culture, nature, and the colors of the seasons.

Sumida Park [Taito Ward]
The Hydrangea Road with a view of the Skytree is an attractive spot

Sumida Park, which stretches from north to south along the Sumida River, is an open-air riverside park in the city center that spans both the Taito Ward side and the Sumida Ward side. It was developed as one of only three large reconstruction parks in Tokyo, and in early summer, not only are there cherry blossoms in the spring, but a field of hydrangeas welcomes visitors.
The highlight is the 2km long "Hydrangea Road" on the Taito Ward side. In June, about 10,000 hydrangeas, including hydrangea macrophylla, Annabelle, Sumidanohanabi, and Uzu-ajisai, bloom all at once, brightening up the waterside promenade.

The view of the Tokyo Skytree in the background is a spectacular sight that can only be seen in this park. The hydrangeas are pruned and maintained in cooperation with the local community, and the park is also attracting attention as it is becoming a famous spot every day.
After enjoying the colorful hydrangeas while feeling the river breeze, we recommend taking in the sights and gourmet food in the nearby Asakusa area. It's a relaxing spot in the city that you can visit as if you were taking a stroll.

Mukojima Hyakkaen Gardens (Sumida Ward)
"Sumida Fireworks" in a garden filled with Edo atmosphere

Mukojima Hyakkaen opened during the Bunka and Bunsei eras of the Edo period, when townspeople's culture flourished. It was a privately run garden created by antique dealer Sahara Kiku together with cultural figures for the purpose of enjoying the appreciation of flowers. The charming scenery remains to this day, making it a valuable spot where you can experience the aesthetic sense of Edo along with the flowers of the four seasons.
In June, various varieties of hydrangeas begin to bloom in the park, and the most popular is the lacecap hydrangea known as "Sumida Fireworks."

The sight of the small blue hermaphrodite flowers and the white decorative flowers spreading out like fireworks is a typical feature of early summer. The hydrangeas scattered in quaint locations such as the banks of ponds and the remains of teahouses exude a dignified beauty in the midst of tranquility.
In the garden, hydrangeas such as Japanese hydrangea, mountain hydrangea, and lacecap hydrangea are in full bloom, and visitors are given a "hydrangea arrangement map" that shows the hydrangea varieties and where they are blooming. It is a spot suitable for an "adult flower walk" where you can enjoy the hydrangeas in a calm atmosphere.

Enjoy the spectacular view of Japanese irises, hydrangeas, and trains
Koiwa Iris Garden, which spreads across the Edogawa riverbed, is a hidden spot for early summer flowers where you can easily enjoy natural scenery while still being in Tokyo. The garden was developed as a stroll-style garden using irises donated by local residents, and every June, about 50,000 irises and about 2,000 hydrangeas bloom all at once, delighting the eyes of visitors.

One of the highlights of the garden is the Edogawa Bridge, which passes nearby, and the trains that run over it. Particularly popular is the stylish form of the Keisei Skyliner that suddenly appears behind the hydrangeas. It's also a great photo spot for train fans and camera enthusiasts who want to take a photo of flowers and trains together.

Iris and hydrangea, and the open sky and riverbed scenery. The Koiwa Iris Garden Festival is held every year in early June, and local stalls and stage events are held in a lively manner, which is a fun thing to do during this time of year.

Asukayama walking trails along the railway tracks

Known as a recreational spot developed for the common people by the eighth shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, during the Edo period, Asukayama Park is one of Tokyo's leading green spaces, steeped in history and culture, and was designated as one of Japan's first parks in 1873. The park also contains a museum and Shibusawa Garden, the former residence of Eiichi Shibusawa, making it a spot where you can enjoy both flowers and history.

The best time to see the flowers is in early summer on the Asuka Komichi, a walking path that runs between the park and the JR train tracks. The 1.3 km long path is filled with 1,300 to 2,000 hydrangeas of about 10 varieties, including hydrangeas, lacecap hydrangeas, and Annabelle hydrangeas, enveloping passersby in a vibrant gradation of colors. In 2023, 750 new hydrangeas will be planted at the entrance to the path in front of JR Oji Station, making it even more gorgeous.
A stroll through the colorful flowers and historical cultural assets adds a little something special to your everyday life. The paths are a little narrow, so please be considerate of your surroundings when taking photos or viewing the sights.

Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden (Minato Ward)
Hydrangeas stand out in the tranquil surroundings, creating a sense of elegance
Located in the heart of the city, just next to Hamamatsucho Station, the former Shiba Rikyu Gardens is a stroll-style pond garden that still retains the atmosphere of the Edo period. Along with Koishikawa Korakuen, it is known as one of the few surviving feudal lord gardens from the early Edo period. The garden structure, which is centered around a pond, and the beauty of the stonework make this a precious scenic spot where you can experience the landscaping techniques of the time.
In the garden, you can see the ancient Japanese hydrangea. The charm of this garden is that they bloom quietly and modestly along the garden paths and on the banks of the pond. The faint appearance of the hydrangeas, surrounded by deep green, accentuates the gentle seasonal feeling.

It is a recommended spot for those who want to spend some relaxing time viewing hydrangeas and experience the "beauty of Japan" while enjoying the tranquility and space.

Hydrangea Park [Kodaira City]
A small hydrangea spot revived along with the town

Hydrangea Park in Kodaira, Tokyo, is a relaxing, community-based spot that was developed in 1973 with the aim of becoming a famous hydrangea spot. Hydrangeas love sunlight, but once faced the threat of total extinction due to overgrowth of surrounding trees. However, environmental improvements made between 1996 and 1997 have allowed them to make a spectacular comeback. It is a "revived hydrangea spot" that has been nurtured together with the local community.
During the peak season from mid- to late June, the park is gently colored with about 1,500 hydrangeas, including lacecap hydrangea, western hydrangea, and oak leaf hydrangea. Although the park is not large, the tranquil atmosphere created by the shade of the trees and the hydrangeas is attractive, and it is also popular as a rest spot during walks along the Sayama-Sakai Greenway.

During the peak viewing season, events are held where people can get familiar with hydrangeas, such as pruning experiences and cutting workshops, making it a popular place for local people to get in touch with nature.
