Gazing ducks at Amabiki Kannon (Mt. Amabiki Rakuhoji Temple)

This photo was taken from a low vantage point, capturing the moment when the ducks in the hydrangea underwater flowers at Amabiki Kannon seem to gaze at us from the front. Amabiki Kannon, where hydrangea, underwater flowers, and animals coexist in a historic temple, is a perfect photo spot for an early summer visit. Along with the beauty of the flowers, you can also enjoy the sight of goats, ducks, and white peacocks relaxing and healing.
