Its true highlight is the seated statue of King Enma, the temple&#8217;s principal image, and the hydrangeas are a modest seasonal touch. In early summer, blue hydrangeas bloom in just three or so spots in a secluded corner beside the main hall, along the edge of a bamboo grove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Is the Best Time to Visit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hydrangeas at Ennoji Temple typically reach their peak between early and late June. During the rainy season, the blue of the rain-soaked flowers deepens, standing out vividly against the green of the bamboo behind them. The exact timing shifts with the weather each year, so it is worth checking before you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Photo Highlights and Must-See Spots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set against the straight green stalks of the bamboo grove, the blue hydrangeas have a wild, natural character quite unlike the flowers of a manicured garden. They are few in number, but that very modesty lets you take in the colour and shape of each bloom. Rather than seeking out the hydrangeas alone, viewing them together with the statue of King Enma in the main hall is what makes a visit to Ennoji distinctive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoying the Quiet of Early Morning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hydrangeas at Ennoji Temple are free of the crowds you find at Hasedera Temple or Meigetsuin Temple. This is a place for those who want to take in the change of season in peace. If you are staying at Toshi&#8217;s Place (<a href=\"https:\/\/kamakuraguide.com\/kamakura-stay\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"24\" title=\"\u938c\u5009\u306e\u5bbf\u6cca\">\u30c8\u30b7\u30ba\u30d7\u30ec\u30a4\u30b9<\/a>), walking over in the early morning lets you enjoy a stillness that a day trip cannot offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There and Visitor Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ennoji Temple is about a 15\u201320 minute walk from Kita-Kamakura Station, directly across from <a href=\"https:\/\/kamakuraguide.com\/en\/kitakamakura\/kenchoji-kamakura\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"172\" title=\"Kenchoji Temple (\u5efa\u9577\u5bfa)\">Kenchoji Temple (\u5efa\u9577\u5bfa)<\/a>.

For admission fees and opening hours, please see the Ennoji Temple detail page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hydrangeas at Ennoji Temple are not flowers that impress by scale. Blue hydrangeas blooming quietly against a bamboo grove, and the statue of King Enma, an Important Cultural Property \u2014 being able to take in these two in stillness is what makes a visit to Ennoji worthwhile. For those who want to step away from the busier sights and feel early summer in Kamakura quietly, this is a place we gently recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toshi&#8217;s Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Category<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Score<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Remarks<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Scenery<\/td><td>7<\/td><td>The hydrangeas are modest in number, offering a quiet and refined beauty.
