There's a hydrangea spot in Tochigi that's so emotional it's crazy!! Now is the only time you can see hydrangeas and lanterns lit up together!! This time, I'd like to introduce "Isoyama Shrine" in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture. " Although it is a very small shrine, it is also a historic shrine as a place associated with the Tokugawa Shogunate⛩️ This shrine has a hydrangea approach in the cedar forest, and lanterns are lit above it. The hydrangeas reflected in the pale light create a mysterious atmosphere, and you can see an indescribably fantastic sight that you can't see anywhere else✨ Of course, it's nice during the day, but I recommend taking pictures after dusk🌆 I recommend taking pictures between 6pm and 7:15pm💡 This time, I arrived late due to a bit of traffic congestion, so it was quite dark😭 It is being held as a "Hydrangea Festival", but the period is "June 15th-30th, 2024" The lighting time is "Evening to 8pm" The photo was taken on June 17th📸 According to the official website, it is currently in full bloom, but there are still some that will bloom soon! So, if you see this, please go to Isoyama Shrine at least once 🚗💨 We look forward to your comments! ! ! 👘Shooting cooperation👘 The subject of this shoot is ayanna She introduces a lot of information on travel, events, hotels, and gourmet information from Japan to overseas!
