The translucent petals of hydrangeas at Amabiki Kannon (Amabiki-yama Rakuhōji Temple)

This photograph captures the beautiful purple hydrangeas at Amabiki Kannon, shot from below to show the petals translucent in the light. At Amabiki Kannon in early summer, when hydrangeas and water lilies bloom in full splendor, you can also enjoy peaceful moments interacting with animals. Why not stroll through the quiet temple grounds and capture photos of the flowers, goats, ducks, and white peacocks? It's a place where you can feel the harmony between the landscape and life.
