When do hydrangeas bloom in Japan in June?+
Hydrangeas (ajisai) peak in mid-to-late June, roughly June 15–30. Kamakura's Meigetsuin temple is the most famous spot, while Kyoto's Mimurotoji offers equally spectacular fields of colorful blooms.
Where should I visit in Japan in June?+
Kamakura for hydrangeas, Kyoto for uncrowded temples, and Hokkaido for lavender fields that begin late June into July. Avoid major festivals if you dislike crowds, as Gion Matsuri month begins in July.
