You can also enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn. When you enter the temple grounds through the Niomon Gate, you will find a five-story pagoda on top of a slope of hydrangeas. This is a popular photo spot where you can capture hydrangeas and the five-story pagoda. The flowers were wet after the rain, so I enjoyed the glossy hydrangeas. The path from the station to Hondoji Temple was bustling with souvenir shops and restaurants. #hydrangeas #Hondoji Temple #Matsudo #irises #popular spot #0 yen trip

📍Hondo-ji Temple 63 Hiraga, Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture 《Access》 About 11 minutes walk from the north exit of Kita-Kogane Station Opening hours 5:00-17:00 ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ Hondo-ji Temple, a famous spot known as the Kamakura of the North About 50,000 hydrangeas of about 40 varieties are in full bloom. It is also a famous spot for irises, and although they had finished blooming, we were able to enjoy both. It was the day after it rained, so we were able to admire the hydrangeas covered in rain. The admission fee for hydrangeas and irises was 500 yen. When I searched using the car navigation system, I was directed to a narrow, difficult-to-pass road behind the temple. I managed to find it, but when searching, it seems to be better to use the address Akamon-ya, in front of the temple gate. #hydrangea #hondoji temple #chiba #iris #0 yen trip

Hydrangea Temple💜 📍Hondo-ji, Chiba, Japan🇯🇵 . During the rainy season, rainy days are depressing. But it's also a season where you can be soothed by colorful hydrangeas😌❤︎ . I went to Hondo-ji Temple in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture. It's a place that is actually called the "Hydrangea Temple" and the "Temple of Four Seasons Flowers"😲 . The contrast between the five-story pagoda and the hydrangeas, this view makes me feel like it's the rainy season in Japan, and it's one of my favorite pictures📸 . There were so many hydrangeas in full bloom in the temple grounds that I couldn't stop taking pictures😅 #Hydrangea #SupportTourism #ChibaPrefecture #SupportTourism#BreathtakingView
