This photograph captures the temple gate of Jōjū-in alongside the beautiful purple hydrangeas blooming in the foreground. Located in the Gokuraku-ji area of Kamakura, Jōjū-in is renowned for its stunning scenery in early summer, when hydrangeas bloom profusely along both sides of the approach path. Beyond the stone steps, a breathtaking view unfolds, featuring a vibrant array of hydrangeas and the sea of Yuigahama Beach stretching out before you—a sight that makes you want to stop and linger.
