Amabiki Kannon (Amabiki-yama Rakuhōji Temple): Mist, Light, and Flowers Underwater

This photograph captures a close-up of the beauty at Amabiki Kannon: light and mist filtering through hydrangea water lilies, along with the play of light and shadow. In early summer, Amabiki Kannon is vibrantly adorned with colorful hydrangeas and water lilies floating on the pond. Visitors can also spot goats, ducks, and white peacocks throughout the grounds, creating a place where they can feel a connection with nature.
