         After the harvesting season in Bungo Ono city, Asachi town, Rhododendron flowers started to bloom at Jinkakuji Temple. Apparently, we should have seen the flowers since around the end of last month. At the same temple, some 400-year-old Rhododendron trees are found with light pink blooming flowers. Besides, with the weather that is getting warmer day by day, the flower buds also gradually blossom. With the beauty of the flowers, both the worshiper and tourist come to the temple and have a look at them. Some people would like to stroll in the temple area. Some would like to take a photo with the flowers. They are all pleasant with the Rhododendron flowers.

Comment:    At first, I thought I have not seen the Rhododendron flower in the real life before. Hence, since I decided to translate this topic, I went to find some pictures on google. Soon after I saw a picture, I recognized it might be the same kind of flowers fully blooming in front of the AP Houses!!  I was always attracted by them while sitting in a bus running past the dorm.  Also, it is very surprising that the Rhododendron trees could last this long until 400 years, and their flowers are still blooming!
