Meigetsu-in temple, blue hydrangea in Kamakura.

Kamakura is one of ancient capitals in Japan.

It's not too far from tokyo, a few hours by train. It's nice place for a one-day trip.

In rainy season, zen-temples are filled with blue hydrangea.

meigetsu-in temple is one of the most popular temples for their hydrangea's characteristic blue color, called "meigetsu-in blue".

It's been cloudy and rainy from june to mid-july, it's also the best time to see beaudiful hydrangea in Kamakura.
