This photo captures the scene at Myōgen-in Temple, where I felt the hydrangeas were the focal point of the temple grounds.

This photo focuses on the beautiful hydrangeas blooming just before the gate of Meigetsuin Temple, capturing them in a way that highlights their beauty.Meigetsu-in Temple is also affectionately known as the "Hydrangea Temple," and its blue hydrangeas adorning the grounds in early summer are truly magnificent. Walking along the quiet stone steps, surrounded by these colorful blooms, you'll find a charming iris garden spreading out in the depths. The view seen through the round window offers a serene space where flowers and greenery harmonize beautifully, perfect for calming your mind.
