This photo was taken at Hakusan Shrine (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo), which I felt was "Fuji Mound and Sengen Shrine.

This photo was taken at Hakusan Shrine, where the Fuji Mound is open only during the Hydrangea Festival and visitors can worship at the Sengen Shrine at the top of the mound.? Hakusan Shrine (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo) is a place where you can take pictures of scenes typical of Japanese shrines along with flowers. Especially during the Hydrangea Festival, the combination of hydrangeas, climbing flags, and komainu (stone guardian dogs) is a perfect example of the Japanese taste.
