This photo was taken at Kuizu Shrine, the general guardian of Bushu-Iwatsuki, from a short distance to show the blue wind chimes and traditional shrine architecture. The serenity of the shrine and the fresh colors of the wind chimes are in beautiful harmony. Bushu-Iwatsuki Sohenshu Kuizu Shrine, located in Iwatsuki, Saitama, is a popular spot for photographers to visit in the summer. The wind-bell display, which is held for a limited time only, is one of the most popular events worth visiting with a camera. Multiple wind chime zones are set up throughout the shrine grounds, with red and blue wind chimes hanging neatly in each area, creating a beautiful sound whenever the wind blows. Each color-coded display has its own personality, and the main attraction is that visitors can encounter a different summer scene each time they walk along the approach. The red wind chimes sparkle in the sunlight through the trees, adding vivid colors in harmony with the vermilion shrine pavilions and green trees. Blue wind chimes create a transparent atmosphere and form a cool and refreshing world in the light and wind. This is a fun spot to compose a photo, as the impression of the photo changes depending on the position of the wind chimes and the background.
