Meigetsu-in

Meigetsu-in, Kamakura Overview

Locals call it the hydrangea temple, and about ninety five percent of what grows here is the pale blue Hime-Ajisai, which is why the colour looks so uniform in June. The round Window of Enlightenment frames the garden behind it. Five hundred yen. Worth knowing: the rear garden is not normally open, only for irises in June and autumn colour.
