三室戸寺のあじさい/Hydrangea at Mimurotoji Temple

6月24日に三室戸寺を訪問しました。

I visited Mimurotoji Temple on June 24th.

最寄り駅の京阪・三室戸駅から徒歩で約15分、また、境内にも長い階段があるのですが、その美しさや、おもしろさは足を運ぶ苦労を洗い流してくれますので、是非訪れてほしい場所です。

It's about 15 minutes walk away from closest Mimurodo Station on Keihan Line, and it has a long steps in the compound, so you might find it's hard to visit and walk so much, but I can recommend here and it's worth visiting because it's very beautiful place as well as interesting.

境内には見所がたくさんあるのですが、今回は #あじさい のお話を。

There are lots to see in this temple but this time, but this time, I'd like to share the most seasonal topic, hydrangea.

三室戸寺はツツジ・アジサイ・ハスの名所として有名です。

Mimurotoji Temple is famous for azalea, Hydrangea, and lotus.

私は開門直後に到着したのですが、帰る頃には受付に10名ほどの列ができていました。

I arrived here just after the gate opened and there was no line, but when I left here, I witnessed about 10 people were waiting at the gate to enter, and more and more people were arriving from the station.

全体を遠目に見ると、あじさいの色が美しいのですが、近づくと違和感がある花を見つけるかもしれません。

When you see the area where hydrangeas are planted, you will be astonished by how beautiful and colorful it is. However once you get closer, you might change your mind.

花びらが裏返しになっているのがわかるでしょうか？
