Myōraku-ji (長尾山妙楽寺) is a temple in Kawasaki that's been given the name "Hydrangea Temple" by the locals. It gets quite busy around hydrangea season (mid-June to early July) and has 1000 hydrangeas with 28 different varieties! There is a bell tower in the center of the temple grounds which you can go up inside of and walk around to see the vast collection of hydrangeas. There is also a pathway on an incline that you can climb up for this gorgeous view pictured in the photo above!

The pathways here are very small, but everyone was polite and patient while waiting for each other to take photos.
A variety of hydrangea that I have never seen before! It looks like a small and fuzzy cherry blossom flower!
Up these steps is the temple's graveyard.
