Unmei-ji Temple Adventure | Summer Trip to Mutsu【12】

When it comes to Akita, many people will first think of the cute Akita dog. I have described my first intimate contact with the Akita dog before. In summer, there is another place worth visiting in Akita, that is, Unmei-ji Temple on the Oga Peninsula, where you can enjoy the gorgeous but not vulgar blue hydrangea. Hydrangea is also called wood hydrangea, eight immortals flower, and purple sunflower. Hydrangea blooms in summer, and the flowers are in the top branches and become corymbs. Because the shape is like a hydrangea, it is named hydrangea, but it is often called purple sunflower in Japan. Unmei-ji Temple in Oga City, Akita Prefecture, Japan, is also known as [Hydrangea Temple]. There are 1,500 hydrangeas planted in the temple, all of which were planted by the deputy abbot of Unmei-ji Temple, Furunaka Soyun, over 15 years. It is not easy to stick to one thing for 15 years, but it feels natural when this happens in Japan. The concentration and persistence of the Japanese can be seen. Unmei-ji Temple was named the "Must-Go Scenic Spot Before Death" in Japan in 2017. This title is too imaginative. If you go, you will die without regret! If you just take pictures of hydrangea, even if it is beautiful, it will still feel a bit monotonous. I was thinking about how to make the picture come alive, and a beautiful Japanese girl appeared. The following photos are not sneak shots. After obtaining her consent, the girl cooperated to take several sets of photos, and the lens feels great. Later, I learned that she is a model and a well-known big internet celebrity in Akita. It is really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes. It is not hard to get it. Traveling is about luck, character, and fate.
