June in Hibiya Park: A Lush Tapestry of Roses, Hydrangeas, and Early Summer Blooms - 17th June 2026

-
In June, Hibiya Park enters a particularly beautiful season, when it is adorned with a rich variety of flowers under the gentle, soft light characteristic of early summer. The first to catch the eye are the roses, with numerous varieties reaching their peak bloom mainly in the First Flower Garden. Their vibrant colors—red, pink, and white—along with their delightful fragrance, offer great enjoyment to visitors.

Hydrangeas, which are indispensable to the rainy season landscape, bloom gracefully along the pathways and in shaded areas. Their blue and purple blossoms become even more vivid when touched by the rain, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere of the park.

In addition, agapanthus, bearing refreshing bluish-purple flowers atop slender, upright stems, come into full bloom in the latter half of June, adding a cool and elegant touch to the early summer scenery.
Furthermore, flowers resembling lilies, such as Hemerocallis (commonly known as daylilies), can also be seen. These are characterized by their large, trumpet-shaped blossoms, which bloom one after another, each lasting only a single day.

Through the harmonious combination of these flowers, Hibiya Park offers a space where one can deeply appreciate the changing seasons, despite being located in the heart of the city.

    ６月の優しい光で、花の魅力が際立っていますね。
    此の後に続く強烈な光では無い、柔らかな光線は、とてもとても、心地良いものですね。
    其れが上手に表現されていると感じました。

    The gentle light of June really brings out the charm of the flowers.
    That soft radiance/sun-beam—so different from the harsh, intense light that follows later—is truly delightful.
    I felt that this quality was beautifully captured.

      夕刻、少し時間が出来たので撮りました。D40xはISO800でもノイズが出るので夕刻の陽が弱くなっていく時間だったので緊張して撮りました。昔のフィルム撮影の様で楽しいのですが。今は当たり前のようにISO3200とか6400を使いますが、フィルム世代の私には信じられない数字です。技術の進歩って凄いですね。

      I had a little free time this evening, so I decided to take some photos. The Nikon D40x can show noise even at ISO 800, and with the evening light fading, I felt a bit nervous while shooting. It reminds me of the old days of shooting on film, which is actually quite fun. Nowadays, people use ISO 3200 or 6400 as if it’s nothing, but as someone from the film generation, those numbers are hard to believe. Technological progress is truly amazing.

Murodo, situated at an elevation of approximately 2,450 meters, serves as a central base for exploring Tateyama and offers a highland landscape where visitors can enjoy nature throughout the four seasons. Nearby stands Hotel Tateyama, known as the highest-altitude hotel in Japan, where guests can experience the tranquility above the clouds and a sky filled with countless stars.
