This photograph captures the hydrangea-lined staircase outside the gate of Amabiki Kannon, standing quietly in the dim light. At Amabiki Kannon, where animals like ducks and goats roam freely within the shrine grounds, it's a spot where you can capture “chance encounters” in photos. While the combination of flowers and animals is a given, you might even stumble upon an adorable scene where a duck perches daintily atop a water lily.
