    A desolate yet incredibly sacred place.

    Hasedera is also known as the Temple of Flowers. I love visiting here every June during hydrangea season.

    If you come on a rainy day or just after the rain, the hydrangeas look shiny and beautiful!

    This year, I was a bit late, so the flowers were already starting to fade... Too bad.

    It's a bit of a walk from the station, and there are lots of stairs at the temple, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes.

    The peonies at Hasedera are super popular! Every April, when they're in full bloom, tons of people come to see the flowers.
