[A breathtaking view you must see before you die] Hydrangea temple Unshoji in Akita Prefecture

A must-see before you die! The hydrangeas at Unshoji Temple have been gaining attention in recent years, having been selected as one of the "Best Breathtaking Sights in Japan 2017." When the hydrangeas are in full bloom, the entire temple grounds are dyed blue, creating a spectacular sight. This temple is characterized by the fact that all the hydrangeas are blue. The assistant chief priest is particular about the color blue, and has gradually increased the number of hydrangeas from just a few to several. During this period, the temple is also lit up at night. The best time to see them is from mid-June to early July, with the flowers in full bloom in late June. Why not visit the fantastical blue Hydrangea Temple? 😌 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~📍Spot name: Unshoji Temple Address: 57 Kitaura, Kitaura, Oga City, Akita Prefecture, 010-0683 Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 during the day (last entrance 16:30) Special nighttime illumination viewing: 18:45-21:30 (last entrance 21:00) Cost: 500 yen during the day, 1,000 yen at night ⚠Caution: Be careful of mosquito bites when viewing at night! #AkitaTrip #Akita #Oga #Unshoji Temple #besttrip2023
