Okinawa’s rainy season arrives earlier than on the mainland, from May to June. How about relaxing and looking at the beautiful hydrangeas as a fun way to enjoy the rainy season?
The owner of Yohena Hydrangea Garden, located in Motobu Town in northern Okinawa, Mr. Kouhina Uto (nickname: Hydrangea Auntie) started growing hydrangeas from two plants as a hobby around the age of 60, and has spent over 30 years growing them. Now There are 8,000 hydrangeas and 300,000 flowers.
There is no doubt that you will be moved by the overwhelming beauty of hydrangeas.

The hydrangea season in Okinawa is from May to late June, and Yohena Hydrangea Garden is only open during this season.
You will definitely be fascinated by the beautiful hydrangeas that can only be seen at this time of year.
Hydrangeas are captivating even on sunny days, but hydrangeas on rainy days also give a wonderful impression. It looks great in photos too 📷✨
In addition to hydrangeas, you can also find beautiful flowers such as gardenias, agapanthus, begonias, grove begonias, willows, and Medinilla magnifica ♬
Cafe Hydrangea House is also the best
At the cafe, you can enjoy shaved ice, Okinawan zenzai, and drinks.
By the way, I ordered milk zenzai♬
This is a reasonable Okinawa price of 400 yen. The ice is not crunchy… but fluffy ♬
I devoured it in no time.
The shaved ice is a huge deal at 250 yen with unlimited syrup.You can also mix different flavors.
I recommend Yohena Hydrangea Garden.
Yohena Hydrangea Garden can be enjoyed from May to late June.
I think you can spend a happy time surrounded by beautiful hydrangeas while taking a leisurely stroll through the park.
After strolling around, you can enjoy zenzai and shaved ice at the cafe, so the kids will definitely be happy ♬
