Hydrangea Festival at Mikaeri Falls

Floral beauty and cascades in the rainy season

The Hydrangea Festival takes place for 3 weeks during the month of June each year at Mikaeri Falls, one of Japan's top 100. This rural location on the outskirts of Karatsu in Saga is perhaps best enjoyed at this time, during Japan's rainy season. The colorful umbrellas and rain gear of the guests matched with the lush valley and gardens below the falls enhance any damp, grey day in a mystical, magical sort of way.

As June is fairly early and not so hot yet, there were hardly any mosquitoes. An August visit might need some bug spray, though. Thank you for the comments!

Awesome colors and atmosphere in this video. No background music other than the tinkle/roar of the streams and river -- which really gives you a feeling of being there. How was the mosquito situation? All that water... :-)

Thanks, Justin! If it's going to be rainy, might as well enjoy it in a beautiful place.

Some nice shots in the video. Very well done, especially considering you were shooting in the rain!
