初めて訪れてみました 地元民 知りませんでした^^; 花屋さんで頂いた小冊子に掲載されており 行ってみよう〜混んでないでしょう と、お一人様プラプラ 侮ってはいけなかったです汗 お天気が良かったのもあってか結構人も車も一杯です 6月13〜7月3日まで紫陽花祭を開催しているそうで水戸のNHKニュースにもなってたみたいですね 駐車場は桂岸寺の駐車場利用すると五百円かかります 駐車場近いのがいいなぁ…な人は、停められれば桂岸寺の駐車場を利用するのが良いと思います^^; 初めて行く方は予想より敷地内広く、見る範囲も広いです 隣接する敷地内には桂岸寺、愛染明王堂、ぴんころ地蔵とやらがあります ぴんころ地蔵さん、自分の身体の痛いところ撫でると良くなるとか、で、撫で回してきました（笑） 肝心の紫陽花ですが私が訪れたときは三分咲き？と書いてあったのかな だいぶ、咲いてますね〜 紫陽花が至るところに咲いているので沢山歩きます 敷地内はスニーカーやペッタンコ靴等 歩きやすい靴が良いかもしれません パンプス履いて行った自分が言うのもなんですが(；´Д｀) 途中、孔雀さんが檻の中にいます 羽根広げてくれんか〜ね〜と、 待ってましたがひろげてはくれず… 孔雀さんと見つめ合い保安苑をあとにしました（笑） 紫陽花にはぜひぜひ保安苑オススメ致します(*^^*)

光圀公が名付け親の庭園で、約6000株の紫陽花が有名ですが、それ以外にも遊具広場や芝広場、明星ケ池に弁天堂さらには昔動物園だったなごりの鳥舎等、見所たっぷりです。また、展望台からの眺めもなかなかですよ。(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

nice temple, nice park, perfect!

In a nutshell: [A hidden hydrangea spot] ★ Impressions Even though I'm a local, I didn't know anything about it! It's spacious and beautiful, and I think the hydrangeas are in full bloom around June. (I went in August) It was originally a zoo, and there was a nice aviary there. As you go deeper into the area, there are ponds and waterfalls to see, making it a surprisingly hidden spot. By the way, there is also play equipment, so it's a good place to bring children. (Perhaps not many people know about it.)

Perfect 💓🥰❣️❤️👍

Beautiful place to visit during the hydrangea season. The parking costs 500 yens per hour but the entrance is free. The place is usually quiet except during the hydrangea season. A very worthwhile visit.

It's a wonderful place. During the rainy season it's quite busy with the hydrangea festival, but usually it is a quiet place. Well suited for a picnic, the nature is beautiful and it is a bit hidden so it is mainly popular among locals.

It is a beautiful park. When the ajisai are in full bloom in mid June, it is spectacular.

Beautiful ❤️

I went to see the hydrangeas on June 27, 2023, and the hydrangeas were still beautiful, and it was fun and exciting to see that the hydrangea walking routes had different patterns depending on the route! ! During the hydrangea season, I also go to see temples such as Kamakura in Kanagawa and Hondoji in Chiba, but this was my first time here, and my friend who went with me said it was worth the visit! I was so happy! It was a wonderful place and the fact that it was free was also great! I also stopped by a soba restaurant near the middle of the route, and I'm glad I went there as well!

Excellent temple and large garden. In the summer the hydrangeas are everywhere.
