Flower in the Rainy Season

Sky has been covered by cloud for over one week.
Now, Japan is in the rainy season.

Rain makes us depressed.


However, the rainy season is the best season for hydrangea to be seen.

In kyoto, Sanzenin Temple in Ohara and Mimuro-ji temple are famous for this flower.

But....

Fujimori shirine in those pictures is great hidden place.

After crossing the gate, a lot of fully bloomed Hydrangea welcome to tourists.

Also, there are a lot of flowers behind of the main building.

For tourists, the rainy season might not be good time to have sightseeing.

However, there are great events you can enjoy only in this season.

Ohara is Fresh green leaves

Ohara is a rural town nestled in the muntains of northern Kyoto about an hour from Kyoto Station. It looked like a short trip even I live in Kyoto because of taking time to getting on a train.
Ohara is best known for Sanzenin Temple.


It is a large temple with a variety of buildings and gardens.

The fresh green moss extend as far as the garden and Japanese cedars were growing up as if they tried to reach to the sky.

Please look at the foot of the tree, you can see a small cute stone statue of Jizo. When I saw him I smiled in spite of myself.

Ohara is surrounded by the beauty of nature. When you will go there, I'm sure that you are deeply impressed with that.

Would you mind coming to Ohara to feel fresh air and see beautiful nature?

Nanzenji was built in 1291.
