In this video, we walk from Hankyu Matsuo Taisha Station to Umemiya Shrine, enjoying the beautiful hydrangeas along the way. Umemiya Shrine is a hidden gem in Kyoto, featuring a stunning garden that showcases different flowers each season.
This footage, shot in June, captures the hydrangeas in full bloom, displaying a vibrant array of colors. We hope you enjoy the scenic route and the soothing sound of wind chimes along the way.

Hello
Today we will continue exploring Kyoto.
We are starting from where we got off at Hankyu Matsuo Taisha Station.
This video was shot in June,
and during the hydrangea season, there are days in Kyoto when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius.
On such hot days, if you go to see hydrangeas, make sure to get some water from the Family Mart next to the station or the supermarket (Fresco) a bit further after crossing the bridge.
There is a bus stop on the left, and from here, you can take a single bus to Shijo Kawaramachi.
It's a simple one-way road, so as long as you don't miss the left turn point, you don't have to worry about getting lost.
This sign is the landmark. Please turn left here.
Umemiya Shrine has a garden that shows different faces each season.
When I asked the priest (person working at the shrine) if I could film inside, they kindly agreed.
Let's go inside.
This pond is nice. You can feel the Zen.
When I visited, many of the hydrangeas were already wilted, and I regretted not coming a bit earlier.
The hydrangeas in various colors are beautiful.
Is that building a tea house?
Traditional Japanese gardens often have tea houses like that. I would like to make tea in a place like that at least once in my life. (In Japan, making matcha is called "making tea")
This building looks very old. It seems to be over 100 years old.
Let's get closer to the tea house.
There are koi fish at your feet.
The moss is beautiful.
How did you like it?
Kyoto has many beautiful Japanese gardens like Umemiya Shrine.
Please visit them at least once!
Thank you for watching!
