Shuzenji Hydrangea
The garden of the five-star inn "SORA" in Shuzenji.
The hydrangea seedlings we planted there grew rapidly and blossomed into beautiful flowers.
It's growing so well that it's hard to imagine it was a seedling.
Shuzenji hydrangeas are "white," "blue," and "purple."
The natural color of hydrangea flowers is red.
However, when the soil is acidic, aluminum dissolves into the soil and reacts with the pigment anthocyanin, causing the leaves to turn blue.
The Japanese archipelago is made up of volcanic islands, and you can enjoy the noble and beautiful blue and purple hydrangeas that grow in the acidic soil.
So what about white flowers? Well, they don't contain anthocyanin to begin with.
It is also beautiful to see them blooming in their pure white form, untainted by anything.

Firefly Night
A soothing dance of fireflies on a quiet night in Shuzenji
Venue: Shuzenji Onsen Akakaeru Park (below the Takishita Bridge)
Time: The best time to see the flowers is said to be around 8pm.
*Depending on the weather, it may not be possible to view the exhibit.
Notes
・Wear footwear you are used to wearing
The venue is very dark and it is difficult to see where you are standing, so it is dangerous to walk around in shoes that you are not used to wearing.
・Don't catch fireflies
The lifespan of floating fireflies is said to be about two weeks. Please do not try to catch them, just enjoy watching them.
Don't use anything shiny
Fireflies do not like bright light. Do not point car lights, cell phones, or flashlights at them. Dark places are dangerous, but be sure to turn off the lights when you arrive at your destination.
・Keep your child close at hand
There are dangerous areas around the venue, including streams and paved stones, so please avoid leaving children alone in the dark.
・Flash photography is prohibited
If the fireflies are exposed to the light of the flash, they will become weak. It is difficult to take pictures of fireflies with a regular smartphone or digital camera. We recommend taking pictures with the shutter of your heart.
*If you are using a tripod, please avoid using it near the habitat. Also, please be careful not to get in the way of other visitors who are viewing the exhibit.
