This photo captures the hydrangea-themed hand-washing basin at Nihonmatsu Temple from the front. Nestled quietly in the mountains, Nihonmatsu Temple becomes a beloved hydrangea spot for many visitors each early summer. At the "Hydrangea Grove," visitors can stroll along a gentle slope while enjoying the vibrant hydrangea scenery spreading out on both sides. It offers a serene, healing space perfect for photography, featuring a hydrangea road blending with the rural landscape, the gentle expressions of Jizo statues and Annabelle hydrangeas, and delicate flower hand-water displays.
