June is a rainy season in Japan. This season is the best time to see hydrangeas, a practice which is a Japanese tradition. Colorful hydrangeas hold a special place in Japanese people's hearts. Many hydrangeas bloom on sidewalks, in parks, and even at temples. "Hydrangea Temple Gardens” are familiar to the Japanese. The beautiful colors of the hydrangeas perfectly match the calm atmosphere of the temples, soothing visitors' minds.
