This photograph captures the hydrangeas blooming around the entrance gate at Amabiki Kannon, viewed from above the mountain.Visiting Amabiki Kannon reveals not merely a religious site, but a comprehensive landscape of life woven together by nature, animals, and humans. Particularly around June, hydrangeas and water lilies vividly color the grounds, while animals like goats, ducks, and white peacocks blend naturally into the space. The harmony created by this environment seems to quietly suggest possibilities for coexistence in the modern world, transcending mere religious significance.
