At Nihonmatsu Temple, a photo capturing the feeling of "gently viewing hydrangeas from afar."

This photo captures the lovely hydrangeas I found at Nihonmatsu Temple from a slight distance. Nihonmatsu Temple is a quiet temple nestled in the mountains. In early summer, hydrangeas color the grounds, gently welcoming visitors. In the "Hydrangea Grove," you can spend a pleasant time surrounded by colorful blooms spreading along the slope. It's a recommended hydrangea spot where you can appreciate beauty from various perspectives: its harmony with the rural landscape, the scene of Jizo statues lined up with Annabelle hydrangeas, and the flower-adorned hand-washing basin.
