June is the rainy season in Japan, but it is also known as the best season to see beautiful hydrangeas! As a renowned spot for this flower, we introduce Ohirasan-jinja Shrine in Tochigi Prefecture. Various types of hydrangeas bloom on both side of their 1,000 stone steps along the front approach. The best period for hydrangeas is from late June to early July.
With the "Nikko Discount Ticket," you can get off at no extra charge at "Tochigi Station" on the Tobu Nikko Line, the nearest station to this shrine. How about visiting this spot after your trip to the Nikko and Kinugawa Onsen areas?
