This photo captures what I perceived as "the view of flowers and flags from the top of the stairs" at Hakusan Shrine (Bunkyo Ward).

This photo was taken at Hakusan Shrine, looking down the stairs to capture the hydrangeas and ascending flags. Hakusan Shrine (Bunkyo Ward) is a popular photo spot where you can enjoy seasonal flowers alongside typical shrine elements like guardian dogs and votive plaques. During the hydrangea festival season, the vibrant hydrangeas lining the approach and shrine grounds create a striking scene.
