修善寺(伊豆市)観光ガイド|歴史ある修禅寺と温泉街を楽しむ伊豆の小京都

修善寺、歴史と温泉情緒に包まれる伊豆の小京都

伊豆の小京都とも称される修善寺(伊豆市)は、歴史と自然、そして温泉情緒を一度に味わえるおすすめの旅先です。中心に佇む修禅寺は平安時代に弘法大師によって開かれた古刹で、境内には凛とした空気が流れ、散策するだけで心が整います。すぐそばを流れる桂川沿いには風情ある温泉街が広がり、石畳の道や情緒ある橋が旅情を深めてくれます。なかでも人気なのが、幻想的な雰囲気をまとった竹林の小径で、青々とした竹に囲まれた散歩道は写真映えも抜群です。春の梅や桜、新緑、秋の紅葉と四季折々に表情を変え、歩くだけで絵になる風景が続く修善寺は、のんびりと大人の時間を過ごしたい方にぴったりの場所です。

Key points for photography

撮影のポイントは、修禅寺では山門や本堂の落ち着いた佇まいを活かして左右対称構図や中央構図で安定感を出し、早朝や夕方のやわらかな斜光を使って木造建築の質感と静けさを引き立てること、そして修善寺エリアでは桂川の流れや石畳、橋を前景に入れて奥行きを作りながら温泉街の情緒を表現し、竹林の小径では縦構図で竹の高さとリズムを強調し木漏れ日を活かして露出をややプラス補正するなど、広角で空間の広がりを出すカットと望遠で背景を整理して被写体を際立たせるカットを撮り分けることです。
