Hydrangea Temple : Togari Onsen

In mid-June Kogenin temple in Togari Onsen, Iiyama City bursts to life with Hydrangea blossoms. Iiyama has beautiful mountainside scenery typical of rural Japan, and the area surrounding the 600 year old Hydrangea Temple is particularly stunning.

It’s just a 2 hour train ride direct from Tokyo Station - so if you’re looking for a relaxing day trip to a picturesque country town, Iiyama is the place to be. 

What are you waiting for?
