Seeing hydrangea in bloom at Hakozaki Shrine flower garden

Yesterday we had decided to take a drive to see hydrangea in bloom at Hakozaki Shrine flower garden, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka. The shrine's annual hydrangea festival will be held in June, with 30 species, of 5000 pieces of lily flowers has been planted.

The garden is open to the public. However, an admission fee of 300 yen per person is payable.
