This photo captures the hydrangeas and sense of depth at the entrance of Myōgen-in Temple.

This photo was taken from outside before opening hours, capturing the area near the gate of Meigetsu-in Temple. I focused on the hydrangeas in the foreground on the right, aiming to convey a sense of depth. Meigetsu-in in Kamakura is a famous spot known for its hydrangeas, which bloom profusely throughout the temple grounds in early summer. Hydrangeas, predominantly blue, adorn the stone steps and approach path, quietly welcoming visitors.Further back lies a charming iris garden, where the blooming irises offer a different expression amidst the serene landscape. Furthermore, the view from the "round window," considered a symbol of Meigetsu-in, captures the changing seasons with a framed beauty. It's a recommended spot for those who wish to savor the harmony of flowers and architecture in quiet moments.
