2021 Omiya Hachimangu Chrysanthemums
The 2021 Omiya Hachimangu chrysanthemums were beautiful. I hadn’t been there to see the flowers for two years. After getting up early, I made the long walk to the shrine. Gray skies were around earlier in the day, but they had cleared somewhat, by the time I arrived at the shrine.
The chrysanthemum display area was much smaller than in previous years. Whereas they used to have two large booths, this time was only one. That was maybe a good choice. The area looked uncluttered.
And the flowers? They were in excellent condition. I was pleased. Hopefully, the pictures reflect what I saw. The only thing I can say is that I wish there had been more!
I’m starting to think that this week might be the best time to check out other locations. If things go right, I’ll be able to visit at least two more places. Shinjuku Gyoen and Yushima Tenjin are on my list. With some luck, I might be able to squeeze in one more I’ve never been to before.
If you are in the Suginami area, check out the Omiya Hachimangu chrysanthemums one day. The display might be small, but the shrine is an excellent place to visit. Let me know what you think if you go.
