Fukkoji Hydrangeas
❚ Bloom Status as of June 3, 2025
Fukkoji, located in Asaji Town, Bungo-Ono, Oita Prefecture, is famous as a hydrangea sightseeing spot.
The hydrangeas are currently about 40–50% in bloom.
Flowering is progressing. The plants that bloomed early are showing beautiful flowers.
We will announce updates on the bloom status as they come.
[Location] Kamiotsuka, Asaji Town, Bungo-Ono, Oita Prefecture
[Access] About 10 minutes by car from JR Asaji Station
[Parking] Available (free)
[Toilets] Available
❚ Fukkoji
The bas-relief Buddhist statue carved into the temple grounds, including its pedestal, stands at about 11 meters tall and is one of Japan’s largest rock-carved Buddhas. The central enormous figure is Fudo Myo-o. Fudo Myo-o typically appears in an angry form, but years of wind and rain have softened this carving into a round, gentle expression. Although it is a large Fudo Myo-o, it has a very approachable appearance.
Fukkoji is also called Hydrangea Temple because so many hydrangeas are planted there. During the rainy season, you can see numerous hydrangea blooms alongside the rock-carved Buddha.
The hydrangeas planted here are cared for by the temple and local residents.

Chinda Falls, located in Bungo-Ono, Oita Prefecture on Kyushu.
Waterfall flow had been stopped for construction since October 2024, but construction is complete and overflow resumed on May 21, 2025.

Although it is a large Fudo Myoo, it has a very approachable presence.
Fukoji is also called Hydrangea Temple for good reason, with many hydrangeas planted across the grounds. During the rainy season you can see abundant hydrangea blooms alongside the rock-carved Buddha.
