Takahata Fudoson is a popular photo spot where beautiful hydrangeas bloom in early summer. There are approximately 7,500 hydrangeas planted in the precincts of the temple, with a wide variety of varieties. The colorful spread of blue, purple, white, and other flowers is a sight to behold. In particular, photographing hydrangeas with the five-story pagoda and the main hall in the background is an excellent opportunity to capture a picture in which Japanese tradition and natural beauty are in harmony. The hydrangeas look even more beautiful in the soft light of the morning when photographed in the stillness of the morning, making for a fantastic photo. We encourage you to visit Takahata Fudoson and take memorable photos of hydrangeas. Since many people visit during the Hydrangea Festival, it is recommended to take photos early in the morning. In particular, when photographing hydrangeas and the five-story pagoda together, it is best to photograph the hydrangeas on the back wall from the reverse side to create a more beautiful and balanced composition. Try to capture the moment when the soft morning light hits the hydrangea to capture a memorable shot.
