Kamakura is renown for hydrangea in this season, and Meigetsuin Temple is one of the most popular places. There're 2500 trees of hydrangea in beautiful colors admired as 'Meigetsuin Blue'. You can meet the beautiful scenery of rainy season, together with the bamboo grove.◎To enjoy seeing and taking pictures of hydrangeas enough, it'll be better for you to visit as soon as Meigetsuin Temple opens, or about one hour before it closes.

The rainy season lends charm to purple sweet flags. You can enjoy seeing the colorful sweet flags in lots of kinds. A water wheel going around calmly and an appearance of a hana-tsumi musume (a girl gathering withered flowers) make us feel the landscape of old times somehow.
