Hikari Sports Park Hydrangea Garden

A famous spot for hydrangeas in the hills of Hikari Sports Park. There are about 15,000 plants of about 30 native and non-native species including Gaku hydrangea, Lorelei, and bigleaf hydrangea. They are usually in full bloom from early to late June when the slope is covered in a profusion of blooming hydrangeas. During the period it's lit up until 9 p.m., offering more mysterious scenery than during the day. An observatory at the top of the walkway's stairs lets you look down on the hydrangeas in bloom across the slope.
