The Tail End of Hydrangea Season in Kamakura ๐ฟ
Engaku-ji Temple wrapped up its hydrangea glass exhibition on June 30th. ๐๐ธ But Engaku-ji is still highly recommended. ๐ The Zen garden with its karesansui (dry landscape) is incredibly soothing and full of artistic charm. ๐ฟ If you have to choose between Meigetsu-in and Jลju-ji, go for Meigetsu-in. It's much more photogenic! ๐๐ธ Tลkei-ji is right next to Meigetsu-in and is highly recommended on my personal hydrangea map. Unfortunately, when I visited, they had all wilted. Judging by the layout of the flower beds and pathways, they must be stunning when in full bloom. ๐The reason it's not popular on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) might be because photography is strictly prohibited throughout the area. ๐ธ๐ซ Fortunately, these last few days are the tail end of the season, so there aren't many people around. ๐๐ธ Endless summer... ๐ธ #HydrangeasInBloom #EndlessSummer ๐
