Known as ajisai in Japanese, hydrangeas are symbolic of early summer in Japan and their blooms are loved and photographed nearly as much as sakura in the spring and fall foliage in the autumn. Tako’s Hydrangea Park spans both banks of the Kuriyama River and is a lovely place to relax. In spring the park is blanketed with yellow mustard flowers, and in fall colorful cosmos stand out against the blue river.
