Message from Tony Xia

Odarumi Pass is the highest drivable mountain pass in Japan, standing at an impressive 2,365 meters above sea level. Just a 15-minute walk along a well-maintained trail that leads you to a group of massive granite rocks known as “The Garden of Dreams,” named for the breathtakingly beautiful views that feel almost otherworldly. The natural artistry and sweeping panorama captivate all who visit. In July, the trails come alive with vibrant Hakusan rhododendrons in full bloom.

Best Time to See Rhododendron Flowers: Early to mid-July
