A little bit about the Hydrangea
The rainy season is the season of the colorful Hydrangea flowers.
Hydrangeas are fascinating in that, unlike most other plants, the color of their flowers can change dramatically.
The flowers petal`s color depend on the pH of the soil .

Hydrangea Shaved Ice
In the area there a few food stand to eat some small dishes. One of them, sells for the season a Shaved Ice Hydrangea!
Shaved ice in the colors of the flowers with lemon! Why lemon?
When you sour your shaved ice, the color is change from purple to pink! The idea of this is like the Hydrangea flowers themselves! Which is changing their color depend on the pH of the soil.
It was pretty delicious!
Access
The park location is a little bit unconfirmable.
It`s about 10 minutes by car from Mobara Station . So if you go with a public transportation , you will need to take a taxi from the station.
We used a rental car from Tokyo. Which takes about 2 hours from Tokyo by car to arrive to the park area.
There is free parking lot with 120 car space .
The parks makes you feel like you are wrapped in a Hydrangea flowers
