安樂寺, Buddhist temple in Ome, Japan.
The temple grounds contain thousands of azalea plants that cover the hillsides, creating multi-colored slopes from mid-April through early May each year.
Founded between 645 and 650 AD during the Taika era, the temple received its name from a monk who noticed the valley's shape resembled a salt boat.
The temple preserves a wooden Senju Kannon statue in its main hall, alongside 28 attendant statues carved during the Kamakura Period from 1185 to 1333.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking the JR Chuo Line Rapid from Tokyo Station to Kabe Station, followed by a 35-minute walk or local bus ride.
The temple hosts an annual fire walking festival on May 3rd during the Tsutsuji Matsuri, where participants can walk across hot coals.
