What happens?
Every year the temple grounds of Takahata Fudōson come alive with pinks, purples, and blues for the month of June. The grounds have more than 7500 flowers and hundreds of types. Taking place in the rainy season, the event doesn’t always have the best weather, but hydrangea petals do shine after a rainstorm.

There will be several events including a tea reception (¥500 per cup) on certain dates, a judo and karate tournament, a haiku competition, a flea market on June 11, and an antique market on June 18.
