Season of hydrangea in the Port City Otaru !

by Kazu

The season of hydrangea has come again. It was said that northern spring came with Pacific herring. Summer has come with the flowers of hydrangea.

We visited the former guesthouse of the owner of fishermen's nets and vessels "Aoyama Bettei". Our last visit to the place was in June when peonies were fully flourished. They were blooming on this side of the garden.

All the flowers of the peony had been taken away from the garden. The garden was well-trimmed. That must have required so much money. How do you imagine the owner of the garden keeps the beauty of the place?
