This photo was taken at Jindaiji Temple, capturing the shaved ice flags standing amidst the lush fresh greenery to create a sense of the season and the bustling atmosphere of the approach to the temple. Although the temple is surrounded by water, it is a charming spot with a serene atmosphere surrounded by nature. The temple grounds are filled with seasonal flowers, cherry blossoms and plum blossoms in spring, fresh greenery and hydrangea in early summer, and autumn leaves in fall, delighting the eyes of visitors. The stone-paved approach to the temple, the atmospheric streets in front of the gate, the tasteful teahouses, and the famous "Jindaiji soba" (buckwheat noodles) are perfect for a stroll while taking pictures. The quietness of the main hall and the contrast of light and shadow coming through the trees are also impressive, especially for those who like to capture the scenery and emotion of the area. Please visit when you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and spend some relaxing time in a space where nature and history are in harmony.
