For the event, an area normally reserved for overnight guests will be specially opened, letting visitors take in this special seasonal scenery colored by a wide variety of hydrangeas.

The Charm of Hydrangea Plaza

Hydrangea Plaza is home to more than 40 varieties and around 4,200 hydrangea plants, including Annabelle, Mona Lisa, Yae Temari, Hoshi no Sakura, Hoshi Uranai, Himiko, and Koi Monogatari. Visitors can stroll freely through the plaza, taking in the different colors and shapes of each variety. Set against the rich natural surroundings of the 500-meter-high plateau, the vividly colored hydrangeas create scenery that can only be seen at this time of year. Guests can spend a quiet early-summer moment in the calm setting of a wellness resort where horses and nature coexist.
