This time, we have taken pictures of hydrangeas at their best, and would like to introduce them to you.

Hydrangeas planted along the slope

Hydrangeas are said to be hardy and easy to grow and prefer humidity, making them suitable for the soil of Kamakura. There is a story that it was first planted at Hase-ji Temple to serve as a retaining wall on the slope.
