Visitors are surrounded by lush scenery during a hydrangea festival at
Yokohama English Garden
in the city’s Nishi Ward, June 19, 2025. Seven hundred hydrangea plants in 300 varieties are currently in full bloom. Floral-themed umbrellas gently sway in the breeze above the vibrant hydrangeas, delighting visitors. According to the garden, the hydrangeas have bloomed beautifully this year, consistent with their usual growth patterns, but some flowers have suffered sunburn due to this week’s intense heat. A woman from Hachioji, Tokyo, commented, “The colorful hydrangeas were cute, and it was also fun to take pictures under the umbrellas.” The peak viewing period is expected to last until the end of June, with the hydrangea festival running until June 29.
