2. Mount Hydrangea
The story of Mr. Minamisawa, known as the "Flower Blooming Grandpa of Nishitama", began with a desire to
"make the place where his ancestors are buried more colorful". It took about 50 years of repeated grafting,
rather than planting, to create the Hydrangea Mountain, which now has more than 10,000 plants and attracts
more than 10,000 visitors yearly to this beautiful mountain. The beautiful scenery of the satoyama is breathtaking, and visitors can fully enjoy the rain-colored 'hydrangeas'.

The restaurant offers homemade vegetables on a big plate with beautiful decoration. They also serve very local sake brand Kisho.

Fireflies are gradually becoming less common in Japan but can still be seen in Nishitama, Tokyo.
