[Tokyo/Hebi-kubo Shrine] Hydrangeas in the grounds

Hebi-kubo Shrine is affectionately known as Tokyo's White Snake.

In 1322, the second year of the Genko era at the end of the Kamakura period,
when the entire region was hit by a severe drought, people prayed to the Dragon Shrine on the bank of an old pond for rain, and heavy rains came, allowing the region to avoid the crisis. It is said that the origin of Hebi-kubo Shrine was when the Dragon Shrine was enshrined in gratitude for this.

Every time you visit, you can see the beautifully arranged flower water fountain.

At this time of year, there are many hydrangeas placed in the grounds,
which makes you feel like the rainy season isn't so bad after all!
