This photo captures what I felt at Myōgen-in Temple: "The stairway path and the hydrangeas in the left rear."

This photograph captures the stairway path just inside Myōgen-in Temple and the hydrangea scenery, with focus set on the flowers in the far left background. Myōgen-in is beloved by many as a famous spot for hydrangeas. The blue hydrangeas blooming along the approach path create a refreshing scene with a touch of nostalgia. The iris garden in the back has a serene atmosphere, and the view through the round window feels like a scene from a quiet story.
