Hello everyone, it's Taisei!
Thank you all for joining the Okazaki CAMP RIDE and BIKE to Morimichi in May. It was so much fun!
Without further ado, I’d like to invite you to our first Circles Community Ride in a while!
This time, we’re heading to the Inazawa Hydrangea Festival!
Since we’re in the rainy season, why not make the most of it? We’re going to go check out some hydrangeas!
Our destination is Otsuka Shokai-ji History Park & Shokai-ji Temple in Inazawa City, Aichi Prefecture.

Shokai-ji Temple is home to roughly 10,000 hydrangea plants across 90 different varieties, and the main hall and pagoda are designated Important Cultural Properties.
It looks like there will be a rotating selection of delicious Japanese sweets available for purchase within the venue during the festival. (I definitely want to try some!)
After enjoying some sweets while looking at the hydrangeas, we’ll take a look around the historical buildings, grab some lunch, and head back!
