Nishi-Arai Daishi

Enjoy the summer scenery with the sound of wind chimes at Nishiarai Daishi

Nishiarai Daishi is a historic temple located in Adachi-ku, Tokyo, and is widely known as a place to pray for protection from bad luck. The temple grounds are beautiful in each of the four seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring, wind chimes in early summer, and autumn leaves in fall, making it an attractive place to enjoy different beauties each time you visit. The summer Fu-ring Festival is especially worth seeing, as the precincts are decorated with colorful wind chimes, and their cool tones echo in the wind, creating a somewhat magical atmosphere. If you choose a relatively quiet time to visit, you can enjoy the pleasant breeze and have a peaceful moment, forgetting the hustle and bustle of daily life. The easy accessibility of the area, combined with the fact that it is easy to visit, is another reason for its popularity.

Key points for photography

The key point of the photo shoot was to place the summer wind chimes of Nishiarai Daishi as the main subject, choosing a slightly backlit time of day and placing the wind chimes in the foreground, and blurring the main hall and approach in the background to create a photo with depth that shows the transparency and cool colors of the glass and even the emotion of the wind blowing through it.
