Hydrangea Temple wrapped in a gentle and gentle blue color – Kita Kamakura “Meigetsuin”
2021.06.24
Meigetsuin is where the ancient Japanese hydrangea “Princess Hydrangea” is planted. A blue hydrangea welcomes you from the front entrance. It is called “Meigetsuin Blue” because the color of the hydrangea planted in the precincts is almost blue.
Meigetsuin was founded in 1160 by Keitsu, a child of Toshimichi, as a memorial service for the Bodhisattva of Toshimichi Yamauchi, a military commander of this land who died in the Heiji rebellion. Hydrangea began to be planted after the war, and the number gradually increased, and now about 2,500 plants are planted.
Hydrangea is also beautiful, but bright blue maple is also beautiful.
You can enjoy many hydrangeas before heading to the main hall.

Yagura
Yagura, which is said to be the tomb of Uesugi Norimasa, has statues of Shaka Nyorai and Prabhutaratna embossed on the wall.
In addition, the upper part of the platform is also called “Rakan-dong” because it has a relief that seems to be 16 Rakan.
It is a popular round window where you can line up for shooting. The garden beyond the round window is open for a limited time. Also, the decoration in front of the window changes depending on the season.
