Shimoda Taiko Drumming is a brave performance by the members of Shimoda Taiko Traditional Preservation Society. The traditional Shimoda-Daiko drumming, which has been passed down from parents to children and from children to grandchildren, echoes through the Ajisai-en even after 400 years!

You can also enjoy gourmet food!

At the venue, there will be stores selling local products, potted hydrangea plants, and food and beverages.

At the Ajisai Teahouse, we recommend the Kinkoro Soba or Udon noodles (700 yen) with handmade Kinmekorokke, the Ajisai Anmitsu (600 yen) with anko (sweet bean paste) from a local Japanese confectionery, and the Ajisai Soda.

Also popular is the freshly squeezed local ama-natsu juice, which is unique to this season. The refreshing taste of the sweet summer fruits in season will quench your thirst.
