Kamakura Prince Hotel (Shichirigahama-higashi, Kamakura, Kanagawa) is offering a special stay plan that includes Hase-dera admission tickets and Ajisai-ji path entry tickets, available from June 6 (Saturday) to June 26 (Friday), 2026.
The hydrangeas that color Kamakura during the rainy season are a beloved symbol of the ancient capital, drawing visitors year after year. Hase-dera in particular is renowned for thousands of hydrangea plants blooming across its grounds, and the walking path known as the "Ajisai-ji" (hydrangea path) offers a fantastical view of colorful flowers woven together.
This plan is designed to help guests make the most of hydrangea season in Kamakura. By having admission tickets ready upon check-in, guests can skip the lines at the temple's entrance — a real advantage during the busy peak season.

About Hase-dera
Hase-dera is one of Kamakura's most historic temples, said to have been founded in the 8th century (Tempyo 8, 736) during the Nara period. The grounds are home to more than 40 varieties of hydrangeas — approximately 2,500 plants in total — all blooming with a backdrop view of Sagami Bay. Because flowers bloom throughout all four seasons in its verdant precincts, it has long been called "the Western Paradise of Kamakura."
