Weekend excursion from central Tokyo

The hydrangea is in full blossom now.
You can see the blossoms everywere in Japan, maybe in your residential area
in June. I enjoy them every morning on my way to the station,
they are really beautiful now. Their blue-perple color refresh my feeling.

Although there's a lot of poular spots for enjoy them near central Tokyo,
my favorite place is Kamakura.
You can enjoy the blossoms in Temple's yards of the historical city.
The hydrangea and temples accentuate their beauty each other.

"Meigetu-in" in Kita-kamakura is the most popular temple as "Temple of hydrangea".
Kita-kamakura is one hour by train from central Tokyo, it is a good place to visit on weekend.
Why don't you visit this temple this weekend? and enjoy Japanese sweet after
the visit? There's a Japanese sweet cafe near the temple.
