Nihonmatsuji Temple|Walking through the breathtaking scenery of flowers wrapped in a wall of hydrangea

Walking along the wall of hydrangea at Nihonmatsu-dera Temple with its breathtaking view of flowers.

The hydrangea at Nihonmatsu-dera Temple offers a spectacular view of the “wall of hydrangeas” along the rice paddies and the flowers covering the mountain slopes. The entire precinct is filled with a wide variety of colors and varieties of flowers, and the more you walk around, the more your field of vision is filled with flowers. As you stroll around, be sure to take pictures of the moment when you feel as if you are surrounded by a sea of flowers.

Key points for photography

The key to photographing hydrangeas along rice paddies is to use a low angle to create depth, and a wide angle to give a sense of scale to hydrangeas spreading out on a slope. Choose a cloudy day or after it rains to capture the moist colors, and in the morning, there are fewer people, so you can take pictures in a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
