This tranquil photo was taken in the early morning, just as the soft light was beginning to filter through the wisteria trellis. Ootenbaku Shrine in Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture, is a quiet local flower spot where beautiful wisteria flowers adorn the shrine grounds in spring. On the wisteria trellis near the torii gate, long purple flower clusters hang down and sway in the soft breeze in a very elegant manner. The calm atmosphere of the temple grounds and the elegant beauty of the wisteria blend together to create a relaxing atmosphere. This is the perfect spot for those who want to enjoy the flowers of the season in peace and quiet, without the bustle of a tourist spot. It is a pleasant place to stop by on a spring stroll.
