Kamakura Meigetsuin

I am so behind on updates!!
Going back to June... I've long wanted to see the hydrangeas in Kamakura so we took a day trip there.
Went to Meigetsuin, also known as the Ajisai-Dera (or Temple of Hydrangeas).
Serene.
Hydrangeas all over!
Hydrangeas & Buddha.
Beautiful.
June is a rainy season in Japan (which totally sucked), but because of the rain, the trees and plants were so much greener.
Meigetsuin also has an Iris garden, which is an extra 500 yen to enter (on top of admission into the temple). It was really worth it!
Food updates from Kamakura to come...
