Capturing the beauty of Hanatemizu, which changes its expression with each season at Gyoda Hachiman Shrine
At Gyoda Hachiman Shrine, visitors can enjoy hanatemizu decorated with seasonal flowers throughout the year (*except July and August), and the main attraction is that each time you visit, you will see a different expression. The tastefully arranged hana-temizu stand out for their delicate and refined beauty, and they are highly popular as a special spot for photography, as they are picturesque from any angle.
Key points for photography
The main point of photography is that the hana-temizu is held during the months of July and August, but only about half of the month, so it is important to check the dates in advance if you plan to visit for the hana-temizu or the lighting-up. By timing your visit in advance, you can enjoy a more impressive photo shoot that makes the most of the unique atmosphere of Gyoda Hachiman Shrine.
