During rainy season Mamembara hill, Chiba is full of numerous hydrangeas flowering. There is Myohosyoji temple nicknamed “temple of hydrangea” on the hill where the monk planted and now 20,000 hydrangeas bloom during July.

At the entrance of temple there are six jizo statues welcoming us. After praying to them we started to walk along the road lined with blue and purple hydrangeas to pass thru the gate of temple.
