Shōkai-ji, Buddhist temple in Inazawa, Japan.
The temple grounds encompass over 5,700 square meters, featuring 10,000 hydrangea plants of 90 different varieties spread throughout the gardens and pathways.
The temple traces its origins to the Kōnin period between 810 and 824, when Buddhist monk Kūkai established it with Aizen Myōō as its primary deity.
The temple houses multiple cultural treasures, including the main hall, a tahōtō pagoda from 1648, and a collection of Buddhist statues and paintings.
Visitors can reach the temple by walking 24 minutes from either Okuda Station or Konomiya Station, with several bus stops located within 500 meters.
The annual Hydrangea Festival in June transforms the temple grounds into a display of colors with thousands of blooming flowers across the historical park.
