6月は梅雨の季節ですが、色とりどりの紫陽花が満開になる季節でもあります。
特に鎌倉では、紫陽花は桜と同じくらい人気があります。
鎌倉は東京から南へ1時間足らずの海岸沿いの町です。一番最初の侍幕府が12世紀に設立されたので、多くの史跡があります。
今回のライブストリーミングでは、鎌倉の「あじさい寺」として知られる長谷寺にご案内します。
6月は境内の散策路沿いに何千もの色とりどりの紫陽花が満開になっています。
長谷寺は紫陽花だけでなく、見どころが沢山あるお寺です。
庭園は「鎌倉の極楽浄土」とうたわれ、池を中心に季節の花々が咲き誇っています。また本尊の十一面観音菩薩は日本最大級の木彫仏で、作られてから今年で1,300年になります。
さらに牡蠣殻が絵馬となって奉納されている神社や、境内にあちこちで見られる可愛らしい地蔵仏など、他ではみられないユニークなものもあります。
