As of Jun 19, 2026, 8:24 PM, peak season now, through ~June 25. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Every early summer Meigetsu-in temple in Kamakura fills its terraced gardens with hundreds of Hydrangea macrophylla plants, creating a dense, colorful display known locally as an ajisai sea.
The display is highly seasonal, reliable in most years, and best visited during the June rainy season when blooms are at their fullest.
