Meigetsuin|Stairway Path and Hydrangeas on the Right

This photo captures what I perceived as "the stairway path and the hydrangeas on the right" at Myōgen-in Temple.

This photograph captures the terraced path visible immediately upon entering Meigetsuin Temple, along with the hydrangeas blooming on either side, with focus set on the flowers on the right. At Meigetsuin in Kamakura, the scenery woven by early summer hydrangeas, irises, and the famous round window is truly captivating.Hydrangeas, predominantly blue, color the approach and stone steps, while a tranquil atmosphere flows through the iris garden. The view from the round window reveals a different expression each time you visit, making it a recommended spot for those wishing to spend time leisurely.
