More than 10,000 colorful hydrangeas are in full bloom along the sidewalk in the Kyoto City Nanbu Clean Center. Hydrangea blooming densely on the slope along the waterway is a new spot where you can see it for free. The hydrangea wall that blooms along the hydrangea path is wonderful. I was happy to be surrounded by beautiful hydrangeas.

Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City is a very tasteful place where you can enjoy the cherry blossom trees in full bloom and the ten stone boats of the houseboat. It is said that boat transportation was prosperous as it was known as one of the leading liquor stores in Japan during the Edo period, and the boat at that time was reproduced and operated as a sightseeing tour boat.
