This photograph captures both the lotus flowers and the Benkei Hall side by side. As it was taken in the evening, the lotus flowers had wilted, but visiting in the morning would likely reveal them fully bloomed, offering an even more beautiful scene in the soft morning light. Shinobazu Pond, located in Ueno, is a popular spot within Tokyo where visitors can enjoy beautiful scenery throughout the seasons. Especially in summer, the pond is covered with vibrantly blooming lotus flowers, delighting the eyes of all who come. Furthermore, the vermilion Benten Hall standing on the north side of the pond creates a harmonious balance with the lotus flowers, forming a picturesque landscape. During this season, specially placed wind chimes in the surrounding area add to the experience, allowing visitors to feel the pleasantness of summer not only visually but also aurally through their refreshing tones. The early morning hours are ideal for photography, as the lotus flowers are at their most beautiful when fully open, offering a special moment of tranquility accompanied by the sound of the wind chimes. Framing the Benten Hall and lotus flowers through the wind chimes allows you to savor the harmony of natural beauty and historical architecture, hard to believe exists within the city. Shinobazu Pond is a captivating place where nature, history, and seasonal special touches blend together, making it a recommended spot to enjoy a peaceful summer moment.
