This photograph captures both the blooming lotus flowers and the Benten Hall within the same frame at Shinobazu Pond. The fusion of traditional architecture and natural beauty creates a beautiful contrast. If you enjoy photography in Ueno during summer, Shinobazu Pond is a must-visit spot. Especially during the early morning hours, lotus flowers bloom across the entire pond, their pale pink petals appearing to float on the tranquil water surface, radiating a fantastical beauty.Capturing the moment when the morning sun hits a half-open lotus flower allows you to take an impressive photo where the delicate expressions of light and flower blend together. Additionally, a summer-only wind chime display is set up in part of the pond. The sound of the chimes swaying in the breeze delivers the feeling of the season through both sight and sound. The vermilion Benten Hall, the lotus flowers, and the addition of transparent wind chimes create a composition that feels like a slice of Japanese summer.You can zoom in to capture the flower's intricate details or use a wide-angle lens to include the pond, sky, and buildings. Shinobazu Pond, where light, sound, and color harmonize, is an ideal spot for photography in summertime Ueno.
