Hydrangeas are the symbol of early summer and can be seen at Koyasan from the second half of June to the end of July. Koyasan is located 900m above sea level and remains cool in summer, even in July.
Hi ,

  

June spells the start of summer and brings with it cheerful hydrangea blooms, fireflies in the countryside and lush green landscapes. It’s also when most of the country experiences the rainy season, but this quieter month is not to be overlooked as it has plenty to offer. 


It’s still unclear when we can travel internationally again, but in the meantime we will continue to bring you travel inspiration and updates and look forward to welcoming you to Japan when the time is right.


This month we are bringing you ideas for enjoying the start of the green season across the country, an update on new accommodation offerings and exciting news for Attack on Titan fans.
