This photo captures the feeling of the "hydrangea path before opening time" at Meigetsuin Temple.

This photograph captures the hydrangea path near Meigetsuin Temple's gate, taken before opening hours to frame the flowers on both sides in perfect balance. Meigetsuin in Kamakura is widely known for its stunning hydrangeas blooming in early summer. Blue blossoms spread along the stone steps and hydrangeas in gentle hues lining the approach greet visitors with tranquility.In the inner iris garden, blooms in a moist atmosphere create a serene landscape, and the view of the garden through the round window is like a single painting.
