This photograph captures the temple gate of Tokeiji Temple and the blue hydrangeas blooming before it. Nestled within the serene atmosphere of Northern Kamakura, Tokeiji Temple was once known as a "temple for severing ties," serving as a spiritual refuge for many women. Even today, its grounds quietly tell this history, while seasonal colors like hydrangeas, irises, and autumn foliage soothe the hearts of visitors.*Please note that photography is prohibited inside the temple grounds beyond the gate.
