    Ibaraki Itako-shi Horinouchi 1230

    アジサイを見に行きました。 丘のような広い敷地に様々なアジサイの花が満開に咲いていました。インスタ映えします。 無料の駐車場もそれなりの広さであって、交通整理してくれる方もいました。 アジサイの季節限定の御朱印もあり、また同じ時期に潮来のあやめまつりも近くで開催されているので、セットで訪れるといいと思います。

Just a stone’s throw from Tokyo, Ibaraki is a coastal prefecture that has mastered juxtapositions, where old shrines meet new scientific discoveries and traditional gardens are frequented by the inventors of some of the newest technology. Head to Mito City's Kairakuen - one of Japan's Three Great Gardens - in spring to experience the cellestial blooming of fantastic cherry blossoms at the annual sakura festival.
