A compact hillside azalea garden in Uji famed for dense carpets of Kurume azaleas each spring. Photograph sweeping color blocks, layered paths and intimate blossom details. Best in April–May at bloom peak; visit early weekday mornings or late afternoon for soft light and fewer visitors. Small site with limited parking—arrive by bike or local bus. Respect paths and seasonal rules; pair shots with nearby Uji tea landscapes for context.
