Illumination of hydrangeas began Friday evening along the 8.9-kilometer stretch between Hakone Tozan Railway Co.’s Hakone-Yumoto and Gora stations in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture.
About 7,000 hydrangeas grown along the route will be illuminated at nine locations from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. until June 30. The flowers, which are now in full bloom on the section between Hakone-Yumoto and Ohiradai stations, are expected to gradually bloom on the remaining section to Gora Station.
A train nicknamed the “Hydrangea Train” will run along the 8.9-kilometer route in the evening, stopping or slowing down at various points to allow passengers to view the flowers.
