Hakusan Shrine (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo)

白山神社であじさい祭りの華やぎと和の風情を味わう

文京区に鎮座する白山神社は、都心にありながら四季折々の花を楽しめる神社として親しまれています。なかでも初夏には境内を彩る紫陽花が見頃を迎え、多くの人が訪れます。毎年行われるあじさい祭りの時期には、参道や境内の随所に紫陽花が咲き誇り、華やかながらも落ち着いた風景が広がります。狛犬や絵馬、登り旗といった神社ならではの要素と紫陽花を組み合わせて撮影できるのも魅力で、和の趣を感じる一枚を残せるスポットです。

Key points for photography

撮影のポイントは、神社ならではのモチーフと紫陽花の位置関係を意識して構図を組み立てることです。狛犬や絵馬、登り旗などを手前や背景に添えることで、花だけではなく「白山神社らしさ」が伝わる写真になります。紫陽花に近づきすぎず、石段や参道を少し入れると、奥行きと物語性が生まれます。祭りの時期は人が多いため、少し視線を上げたり低めの目線を選ぶことで、写り込みを抑えやすくなります。朝や夕方のやわらかな光を選べば、色が落ち着き、白山神社の持つ穏やかな雰囲気を丁寧に写し取ることができます。
