Hydrangea Season in Japan! Cycling Slice of Life & Garden Bike Tour of Kanazawa 🚲🪻🍦 金沢でサイクリング

It’s June in Japan, which means it’s hydrangea season! I thought I would take you along on a little bike cruise around Kanazawa this morning to see Honkoji temple, known for its hydrangeas, as well as a park on Utatsuyama filled with iris flowers in bloom.
I’ll also show you where to get some soba ice cream, and take you to a bakery, because there’s nothing better than cruising around to get snacks by bike!

I cycled in japan last year, a bit south of Narita, this brought back nice memories. Also, your style of video is hypnotically relaxing, I feel like all my stress has left my body.

[@AnniewhereAndEverywhere]

So happy to hear that! I'm glad you found it relaxing - and cool that you were able to bike in Japan recently too!

Wow, Japan is so picturesque! Is it not very hot and humid in June and July, however?

[@AnniewhereAndEverywhere]

it is a little hot and humid but not bad in early June. July and August will get very hot and humid though! I think bigger cities have a more brutal summer, but that's part of the reason why I was riding so early before the sun had been out too long.

Wow beautiful Honkoji temple with colourful hydrangeas. Great post. Thanks for sharing.

4:30 am summer rides are just the best in Japan! I think I will ride from Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi to Tsuruga in Fukui along the Sea of Japan coast this summer. Early starts and early finishes each day :)

[@AnniewhereAndEverywhere]

wow that sounds cool, I bet that will be a beautiful ride! I haven't made it farther west than Hiroshima yet, but hopefully I'll get to bike/see that area of Japan sometime too. 頑張ってください!
