JAKARTA - The colorful views of horrtensi flowers are one of the charms of tourism during the summer in Japan. One of the tourist destinations where visitors can enjoy the beauty of the hortensi flower surrounded by a culturally crowded building is Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Astrid, who ended up in the United States when she was met in Kamakura, admitted that she liked tourism in the city, including the view of horrtensia and lotus flowers in the temple area. " “ When we saw it (flower propagation), we immediately said we wanted to get to the bridge because of course the view was beautiful. We also want to take photos there because the colors are amazing,” he said as quoted by Antara, Sunday, July 12. He visited Japan with a group of scout girls from New York City who had previously visited Tokyo and were also about to go to see Mount Fuji, Hakone and then go to Kyoto, Hiroshima and Osaka. This is my first time going to Kamakura and its culture is extraordinary. Being able to see other parts of the world like this, for me personally, amazingly, ” he said. According to him, the atmosphere in the city that represents the corners of Japan in the past is very calming. "We love it," he said. Flowers that are also called hydrangea or bokor flowers usually start to bloom at the beginning of the rainy season, namely June until the end of the summer in September. Generally, the flowers that grow piled up and formed half a circle are found in almost all parts of Japan. The uniqueness of the flowers is a combination of various colors, even in one tree, ranging from pink, blue, purple, white and green. The color change is influenced by the pH content in the soil. If the pH on the ground ranges from 4.5 -5.5 or acid, then the resulting color is blue or purple. Meanwhile, if the pH is in the range of 6.0-7.0 or bases, the resulting color tends to be more pink. Therefore, the colors of horrene flowers can be changed as desired by adding soil acidity levels with coffee powder or orange peel. In addition to horrtensiae, the flowers that are often found during the summer are lotus and roses of various types. Meanwhile, Kamakura is one of the cities with religious tourist destinations in Japan. No more than two hours, visitors can reach the city full of culture from Tokyo. Many temples were found in Kamakura, one of which is known as Daibitsu or The Great Buddha, which is a temple with the second largest Buddhist statue in Japan weighing up to 93 tons and a height of 13 meters. One of the interesting access to transportation is by boarding the Enoden Line train where tourists can enjoy the beach view and Enoshima Island from inside the train.

Not only that, visitors can also try a different sensation by riding Shonan Monorail, namely trains hanging on the track along Enoshima to Ofuna, Kamakura.
