【Bunkyo Ward】One of Tokyo's famous hydrangea spots! Hakusan Shrine's Hydrangea Festival

☔️ Tokyo, Bunkyo Ward Founded in 948, this shrine is one of Tokyo's renowned hydrangea viewing spots! 📍 Hakusan Shrine The Hydrangea Festival held in June features a local festival atmosphere with small food stalls. There's a photo spot at the torii gate where people line up, but during my first visit, I didn't know about it and missed the chance to participate in the worship there that day...! If you're interested, make sure to research in advance! Next to the shrine, there's a park with plenty of hydrangeas blooming. (The festival's headquarters? was also set up there.) ※ Some playground equipment, like swings, was off-limits. It's also a great spot to take photos with hydrangeas, so be sure to check it out! The first photo shows the large staircase where everyone parks their bicycles. =============== 2025 Bunkyo Hydrangea Festival Period: Saturday, June 7 – Sunday, June 15 Location: Hakusan Shrine Access: 2-minute walk from A3 Exit of Toei Mita Line Hakusan Station 6-minute walk from Exit 1 of Tokyo Metro Namboku Line Hon-Komagome Station ================
