Hydrangea Festival
Hydrangea (Ajisai in Japanese) is the sign of the rainy season in Japan. The flower is adored and honored by most of the Japanese like they do for ume, sakura and irises. Viewing hydrangea flower is a tradition here. Japanese absolutely respect this tradition!
Katahara Onsen is a scenic hot spring village in the coastal area of Mikawa Bay, considered as one of the larger Gamagori Onsen area. The area around the Hodagaike Pond, part of the Katahara Onsen, is highly regarded as Home Place of the Hydrangeas (Ajisai-no-sato), due to the 50,000 bushes of the exuberant flowers that proudly ornate the boardwalk around the water body when in their full bloom. When it happens, the Ajisai Matsuri (“Hydrangea Festival”) is held in order to celebrate them. It starts on June 1st and goes for a whole month until June 30th.
