Saga: A breathtaking sight that will give you goosebumps in early summer - 50,000 azaleas! 20 types of azaleas bloom in brilliant colors!
The cherry blossoms have finally reached full bloom, but now we are moving straight into early summer! !
After the cherry blossoms have passed, early summer flowers will begin to bloom✨
Azaleas are one of the earliest flowers to be seen in early summer🌺
In Saga Prefecture, you can find a spectacular view that will make you say "Wow!" at such an azalea spot‼ ️
Today, we will introduce "Daikozenji Temple" in the northeastern part of Saga Prefecture.
This temple is so famous for its azaleas that it is commonly known as "Azalea Temple"!
The mountain behind the main hall has a 75,000 square meter azalea garden, filled with about 50,000 azaleas of 20 varieties😍
The best time to see them is from mid-April to early May
The photo was taken on April 23, 2023📸
An azalea festival will also be held‼ ️
According to the information on the official website, the period is from early April to early May! There are many food trucks in the parking lot, so you can eat and drink 🍔
