The information provided mentioned that the flowering was poor this year, and it was indeed true... but there were still some flowers blooming beautifully, which was nice.
There was also a review that said to wear comfortable walking shoes. That's true; you walk through a considerable elevation change, so it's quite tiring.
A man in a couple who had just finished walking grumbled, "I'm never coming back here again." Perhaps he wouldn't have said that if there had been more flowers in bloom...
There was also a small pond with lotus flowers.
Walking while imagining the scene when there were many flowers in bloom was good exercise.
I visit every year, but unfortunately, there are hardly any flowers blooming this year 😭
I thought it was strange that there wasn't a single car in the parking lot, so I went inside. A local resident explained that due to last year's heat and water shortage, there were hardly any flowers blooming at this time of year, when they are usually in full bloom 😱
They also told me that they are turning away all group visitors and bus tours.
I took some photos of the hydrangeas blooming at the entrance before leaving 🙏 I hope that next year, the hydrangeas will be in full bloom as usual 🙏
I visited for the first time on June 18, 2026, but there were hardly any flowers blooming this year, and it was free to enter.
I happened to meet the person in charge of maintenance and they told me about it.
There was no one there.
It's just nature, so it's a shame.
