Located in southeastern Kanazawa, Daijoji Kyuryo Park offers abundant nature and expansive views from hilly terrain with an elevation difference of 83 m.

The Grassy Hill midway up the slope is one of the park's most popular spots, offering panoramic views of Kanazawa from its gentle incline. On clear days, the view extends as far as the Sea of Japan. The approximately 13,000-square-meter lawn comes alive on weekends and holidays with people relaxing in their own way—lying back beneath the vast sky or spreading out lunch for a picnic.

Throughout the expansive park, seasonal trees and flowers—including plum and cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, camellias, and fall foliage—are also worth seeing. The approximately 13,000 azalea plants are particularly impressive, and visitors can stroll along the well-maintained paths to admire their colorful blooms. The park is also known for its nighttime views, which visitors can take in until it closes for the night.

    This time, I happened to visit Daijoji Kyuryo Park when the hydrangeas were in full bloom. There were so many, in shades ranging from light blue and deep blue to purple. Walking among them felt like being surrounded by hydrangeas.
