A temple full of flowers in Kamakura

Meigetsu-in Temple aka Hydrangea Temple is in North Kamakura. This temple is usually quiet but at this time of a year there are full of visiters.Do you know why?

It is because we can enjoy hydrangeas at this temple.
At the backyard of this temple there are irises.

British House Yokohama & Rose Garden

This structure was built in 1937 and used as an official residence for British Consulate General. In 1969 it was sold to Yokohama City prior to the closure of British Consulate of Yokohama in 1972.
Now it is used as a public hall for Yokohama citizens.
This was a bedroom of the second floor.

This is a backyard of the house.

In front of the house we can enjoy beautiful roses.
