Bougainvillea Between the Onari Bridge and the Itogawa Bridge (about 180 meters) of the Itokawa River, which flows through the center of Atami City, bougainvillea is planted to cover the river. This bougainvillea blooms from May to October every year with beautiful tropical colors such as red, magenta, and purple. There is a staircase going down to the river near the Itokawa Bridge, making it a ♪ hidden photo spot The yellow "Hypericum Hidecoat" also adds color and is very nice. It peaks at the same time as jacaranda (late May ~ mid-June), so please visit here as well. < bougainvillea> A tropical shrub of the family Lycaenidae from South America (Brazil). In tropical countries, it blooms all year round, but in Japan it blooms from May ~ October.
