45th Yutagami Onsen Hydrangea Festival on Mt. Gomadou

Hi! This time I climbed up Mt. Gomadou located in Niigata prefecture because they are having a hydrangea festival there!

It was on June 20, 2024, sunny and a little windy but too hot for June.

The Hydrangea Festival will be running from June 8 to July 7, 2024.

Exploration for the History of Mt. Gomadou

I will start with some pictures of my way to the mountain top. The power of plants is really amazing because they grow up so well without fertilizer!

Here are some of the pictures of the mountain top. According to the sporadic signs, I walked for 1800 meters… with my sandals on lol

Before climbing down, I took a rest and energized myself at Hydrangea Teahouse ( ^^) _旦~~
