The jacaranda, the flower that heralds early summer in Atami.
Whether it will bloom or not is something you won’t know until the season arrives. The jacaranda is a bit capricious that way.
Two trees gifted in 1990 from Atami’s sister city, Cascais in Portugal, have grown into more than 100 plantings today.
Once native mainly to tropical regions, one of the world’s three great flowering trees has now come to announce early summer in Atami. Along the shore in June, clusters of small trumpet-shaped, blue-violet jacaranda flowers paint the sky like bouquets from Omiya Green Space to Sun Beach.
Each year in early June during the blooming season, we hold the Jacaranda Festival.
Legend says that if a flower falls on your head, happiness will come. How many will bloom this season? Come and see these precious purple blossoms.♪
