At Myōgen-in Temple, a photograph capturing the feeling of "a stairway path with blurred right side and hydrangeas."

This photograph captures the stairway path and hydrangeas at Myōgen-in Temple, focusing on the left side in the background while slightly blurring the flowers on the right.Early summer at Myōgen-in is a place where you can feel the quintessential beauty of Kamakura, where the scenery woven together by hydrangeas, irises, and round windows harmonizes. Walking along the approach lined with blue-purple hydrangeas, a garden of quietly blooming irises spreads out in the distance. The view seen through the round window is like a single picture frame reflecting the changing seasons.
