Updated below. 🌿🌿 Today is June 3rd, and the area at the entrance is blooming here and there. You can enjoy it until July. It's been a long time since I've climbed up to see it, and I was surprised that it was such a steep slope, with 1000 steps. As you climb the stairs, you can see different varieties of hydrangeas and enjoy them. When the shower falls on Mt. Taiping, crabs come out of the streams. It's best to wear shoes that don't slip. For the elderly, we recommend taking a walk around Rokkakudo, where the tamagoyaki and dumplings at the tea shop at the entrance are delicious. 🤗Update🌿🌿 Today is June 14th, the rainy season has started, and it has been raining every day.The rain and the hydrangeas create a beautiful atmosphere, and it looks like a picture.The area around Rokkakudo is blooming beautifully, June 25th. I think the best time to see them is on the sun. 🤗

2022.6.26 I went to see hydrangeas in an unseasonably hot 35 degrees. Although the 1,000-step staircase was difficult, there were many families with children and elderly people, which suggests that it is a popular spot. I wasn't sure if it was past its peak or if it was slow to grow due to the lack of rain, but although it wasn't in full bloom, there were lots of beautiful flowers everywhere, so I'm glad I went. If you are looking for hydrangeas, we recommend walking from the Hydrangea Sakashita parking lot. It's basically all stairs, so wheelchairs and strollers are free, but it's also difficult for people with mobility issues. It was a spot I would like to visit again next year 💐

今日は、６月１１日です。あじさい坂は、初めて来ました。まだ咲き始めたばかりみたいで、咲いている紫陽花がわずかでしたが、それでもうれしくなりました。ただ、６月１７日～７月３日まで、とちぎあじさいまつりが、行われるので、駐車場には、注意してください。この期間は、有料で５００円になります。今日は、ラッキーでした。

2022年6月17日からあじさい祭りをやってます。まだ開催2日目では紫陽花が3割位だったので、もう1週間後位からが見ごろになりそうです。

A long rock stairway with ajisai on both sides leading to temple.

細い坂道の歩道の両脇に紫陽花が咲いています。 メインの通りは300mぐらい。ゆっくり歩いて往復して20分ぐらい。 あじさいの時期は駐車場が有料になります。 が、時間外は無料で駐車できるので、涼しくなった夕方がおすすめ。 知らずに16:45に行ったらきちんと料金とられました、帰って来る頃にはスタッフさん誰もいなくなってましたw

As the name suggests, this slope was the best season for hydrangeas. There are fewer hydrangeas than the hydrangeas at the famous temples in Kamakura, but the advantage is that it's not so crowded that you have to line up.

June 25, 2023 The hydrangeas on Hydrangea Hill were in full bloom. The 1000 stone steps are quite tough, but the view from Taiheiyama Shrine is very nice.

The slope itself continues all the way to Ohirayama Shrine near the summit, but the hydrangeas are in bloom only halfway up the mountain, up to Zeniarai Benten. The stairs don't have much of a slope up to that point, so even elderly people can climb them without any problems. However, be careful as the stairs from there to Ohirayama Shrine suddenly become steep. It's tough.

Famous spot for Ajisai/Hydrangea in Tochigi ken. Beautiful, colorful hydrangea can be seen throughout from the car park to Ohira Shrine. Crowded and people are waiting to enter the car park in busy days, which is cost ¥500. Discount ticket for Dango🍡 of ¥100 was given with the car park ticket. Bit tired, but worth complete the hiking course up to the Ohira Shire.

When it comes to viewing hydrangeas, there are restrooms at the end of Hydrangea Hill, so it's best to go there. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Ohira Shrine, but the stairs are steep, so I don't recommend wearing sandals. In addition to Hydrangea Hill, there are also hydrangeas in Kenshinpei, so we recommend that as well.

6月23日来訪。満開の紫陽花でした。上り坂の階段はけっこうきついですが、紫陽花を眺めながら、森の空気を感じながらゆっくりと登ればあっという間です。 もし足腰に自信がなければあじさい坂有料駐車場（500円）に入らずに左の山頂方面（写真1枚目参照）の道を車で上がれば神社本殿手前の大平山展望台の無料駐車場に車を停めることもできます。本殿まではゆったりした坂道を100メートルほどなので便利ですよ。

I visited you a week ago. Unfortunately, we took a walk in the rain, but the colors of the hydrangeas were subdued under the overcast sky. The hydrangeas right next to the stairs were in full bloom and looked very nice. The footing was slippery, so please be careful when walking.

Lots of hydrangeas, stone stairs... It had a great atmosphere and was very beautiful. There seemed to be a parking fee depending on the season. It takes a lot of physical strength to climb the stone stairs to the top. Many people were climbing out of breath. There was a parking lot halfway up the mountain, but there were more and more beautiful hydrangeas at the bottom.

土曜日は混雑するので午前6時台に訪問しました。渋滞ゼロ。駐車場もあじさい坂も山頂付近の謙信平も空いてました。朝露をまとったさまざまな紫陽花とウグイス達の鳴き声に癒されます
