Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture: Hydrangea Village

The "Katahara Onsen Hydrangea Festival" held from June 1st to June 30th every year in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture, is a must-visit attraction in central Japan. The most special feature is the 'Fudaga Pond' in the middle of the hydrangea village, where the pond water and hydrangeas reflect each other. You can also enjoy a view of Mikawa Bay and Mikawa Oshima, which is truly refreshing. It takes less than an hour to get there from downtown Nagoya! Just take the train to "Meitetsu Ichinomiya Station", walk about 3 minutes to the No. 2 bus stop at "Meitetsu Ichinomiya Station Bus Terminal", take the bus to "Obishi Government Office Front", and then walk for 15 minutes to reach your destination.
