Iwanesho Temple / Kyoto
The ancient temple "Iwashiten" located on the border between Kyoto and Nara Prefecture. Set amidst lush greenery, Iwashiten is known as a "flower temple" where flowers bloom throughout the four seasons. Especially in the months of early June to early July, the purple azaleas bloom with a kaleidoscope of colors—blue, purple, red, and white—creating an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility that attracts many worshippers.

Hakusan Shrine / Tokyo
The rainy-like yaginoya shrine sits quietly amidst a retro cityscape. Shirayama Shrine, known as a famous spot for yaginoya in Tokyo, is located in Bunkyo Ward, a center of the city where you can still feel the atmosphere of the Shodoshima area and the traditional townscape of the past. In mid-June, the "Bunkyo Azai Matsuri" is held, and approximately 3,000 yaginoya plants bloom in the precincts and park, making for a spectacular sight. Yaginoya plants prefer water, and they thrive best in the rain. It is recommended to visit Shirayama Shrine on a rainy day or as a side trip to enjoy the seasonal beauty of the area.
