This photograph captures the hydrangea flower hand-watering at Nihonmatsu Temple from a diagonal side angle. Nihonmatsu Temple is a quiet temple nestled in the mountains of Itako City, Ibaraki Prefecture. In early summer, hydrangeas blooming throughout its grounds beautifully color the scenery. In the "Hydrangea Grove," colorful hydrangeas blooming along a gentle slope offer visitors a sense of healing and wonder. The Hydrangea Road, where countryside and flowers come together, and the gentle scene of Jizo statues lined up with Annabelle hydrangeas make this a recommended spot for those seeking a quiet retreat.
