The garden landscape is integrated into the natural topography of a valley, creating a distinct microclimate for the plants.
It is a labor-intensive project maintained to preserve the historical atmosphere of the Kurooka district.
Yuri Tamamizu is a dedicated hydrangea garden situated in the historic castle town of Tamba-Sasayama. The garden features approximately 7,000 hydrangea plants representing over 50 different varieties. Located on the grounds of a natural spring site, the garden utilizes the local water source to cultivate its blooms. The terrain consists of a sloping hillside path that winds through dense clusters of flowers. It is maintained privately and focuses on traditional landscape aesthetics. The site is a seasonal attraction that draws visitors primarily during the early summer blooming period.

Wear sturdy walking shoes as the garden paths are sloped and can become slippery.
Bring insect repellent, as the humid, lush environment is a habitat for mosquitoes.
Check local bloom reports on the official website before visiting to ensure peak conditions.
Do not visit outside of the peak blooming season, as the site offers little of interest when the hydrangeas are dormant.
Open only during the hydrangea blooming season in early summer; closed for the remainder of the year.
Stay on the designated paths to avoid damaging the plants and do not pick any flowers.
