Japan's Most Beautiful Hydrangea Temple in Early Summer | Uji Kyoto 4K HDR

Press the CC button to enjoy all captions. Uji — a historic town just south of Kyoto, where ancient temples and early-summer hydrangeas come together in quiet beauty. Mimurotoji Temple is famous as a "hydrangea temple," its hillside garden filling with thousands of blue, purple, and pink blooms in June. A short distance away stands Byodoin, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most iconic temples in Japan — its Phoenix Hall reflected across a calm mirror pond, the very scene featured on the Japanese 10-yen coin. Filmed in mid-June, when the rainy season brings the hydrangeas to their most vivid, this video takes you through a peaceful early-summer day in Uji. Whether you are planning a trip to Kyoto, looking for inspiration, or simply want to relax with timeless Japanese scenery, I hope this video brings you a moment of calm. 📍 Location: Uji, Kyoto, Japan 🗓️ Filmed: Mid-June (hydrangea season) 🗺️ Route: Mimurotoji Temple → Byodoin 📷 Camera: Insta360 Ace Pro 2 (4K HDR) Captions are available in English and many other languages.
