This photograph captures the hydrangea hand-watering ritual at Nihonmatsu Temple from a diagonal angle with a wide shot.Nihonmatsu Temple is a tranquil temple nestled in the mountains, surrounded by nature. During hydrangea season, the temple grounds are bathed in gentle hues. In the "Hydrangea Grove," visitors can experience being enveloped by flowers as they climb a gentle slope. Soothing scenery unfolds, including the Hydrangea Road blending with the pastoral landscape and a corner where Jizo statues stand alongside Annabelle hydrangeas. The flower hand-water feature, with its delicate colors, is also a highlight.
