The rainy season is both a time of annoyance and a time to enjoy beautiful hydrangeas….
In Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, there are several places famous for hydrangeas, including Honko-ji Temple, known as the hydrangea temple. We are healed by the photos posted on Twitter by everyone who took hydrangea pictures.

Utsutatsuyama Iris Garden
Speaking of the gazebo at the observatory lawn, the private Ren-no-Ku Jogakuin School, located deep in Kanazawa City, is the setting for the new Love Live! The gazebo was the focus of a lot of attention when it appeared in the promotion of the new series『Hasu-no-Sora Jogakuin School Idol』（Link!Like!Love Live!）

Perhaps because of this connection, some fans were seen holding acrylic stands of Linkura （Link!Like!Love Live!） character and taking pictures of hydrangeas.

Even the voice actors of 「Hasu no Sora」 enjoyed the hydrangea
Voice actress Hatsuna Hanamiya, who plays the role of Kozue Otomune in 『Hasu no Sora Jogakuin School Idol Club』, also posted a photo of hydrangeas.
I don’t know where you saw the hydrangea, but I see in the fan’s comment, 「If it were in Kanazawa, the iris garden at Utatsuyama」 is the name of the place.
「Milista」 Shiraishi Tsumugi also with hydrangea
There was even a picture of Tsumugi Shiraishi (CV: Saki Minami), an idol from 『Idol Master Million Live! Theater Days』, there was even a photo of the idol Tsumugi Shiraishi (CV: Saki Minami).
This is a commemorative photo taken at Utatsuyama iris garden in Kanazawa, with hydrangea in the background, together with Acta.
Tsumugi Shiraishi is from Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Her parents worked as a store keeper at a kimono shop in Kanazawa.
Moreover, 「Millishita」 has a song titled 『Ruriiro Kingyo to Hanashobu』 in which Tsumugi Shiraishi plays the center role, so the situation of the iris garden at Utatsuyama in Kanazawa is perfect, isn’t it?
