Celebrate summer's arrival with colorful blooms in Kyoto

Venue
Kahoen
When
Jun 28th - Jul 6th 2025

Hydrangeas are one of the highlights of early summer in Japan, and Kyoto's Kahoen Garden completed planting over 10,000 hydrangea bushes in the fall of 2022. During the summer of 2023 around 6,000 of them bloomed, with closer to 10,000 of them expected to flower in summer of 2024.

During peak hydrangea season, the garden will open from 9am until 4pm daily for visitors to appreciate the colorful beauty.

Please note that in the case of poor blooming conditions the event may be cancelled.

Getting there

Kahoen is best accessed by car – the garden can be reached in an hour's driving time from central Kyoto, or around 30 minutes from the Sonobe Interchange on the Kyoto Jukan Expressway. Paid on-site parking is available, with standard sized vehicles charged at a rate of 500 JPY.
