Notice of the end of the After Hydrangea Festival
The hydrangea floating in the water tank around the monument at the Izukyu Shimoda Station Rotary was well received by many customers, and although it was fleeting, they Fun the beautiful sight💐✨
The exhibition was originally scheduled to run until Tuesday, July 16, but due to the severe heat of the day, it was decided to withdraw on the evening of Friday, July 11.
This exhibition, which was the first of its kind, was a trial under three conditions: hydrangeas that are past their best time to visit in the park, high temperatures in traditional Japanese straw raincoat in the middle of summer, and water, while worrying about how beautiful they would be. We have taken all possible measures, such as replacing flowers and opening water tanks, but it is difficult to maintain the beauty for a long time in the midsummer sun, so we have decided to finish earlier than planned.
We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to it, and thank you for your understanding.
The next pleasure in Shimoda is Bathing in the sea 🏖️
Please continue to enjoy Shimoda to the fullest🌊🍧🎐
