White azalea at the entrance to the garden of Odakyu Mountain Hotel (Hakone)

This photo was taken at the Odakyu Mountain Hotel (Hakone) because of the beautiful white azaleas blooming near the entrance to the garden. I was conscious of the neatness of the white azaleas and the serene scenery typical of Hakone gardens.
