This photo captures what I felt was a "flower path along the rice paddies" at Nihonmatsu Temple.

This photo captures the hydrangea road along the rice fields at Nihonmatsu Temple. Nestled quietly in a peaceful mountain valley, Nihonmatsu Temple blooms with hydrangeas throughout its grounds in early summer, offering visitors a soothing experience. At the "Hydrangea Grove," you can walk surrounded by flowers blooming along a gentle slope, creating the feeling of walking through a floral tunnel.With highlights like the hydrangea road harmonizing with the rural landscape and the tranquil space featuring Jizo statues and Annabelle hydrangeas, it's a place where you can enjoy the flowers in peace.
