When in full bloom, the hydrangeas completely dye the grounds blue, with the Sea of Oga stretching out beyond them.These hydrangeas, carefully cultivated over many years by the temple's vice chief priest, cover the temple grounds in a brilliant blue. Beyond the flowers, the deep blue sea peeks through, offering a sight unique to Oga.

It has long been popular among common people as a hot spring cure resort (tōji-ba).Containing salts similar to seawater, it is also called "Netsu no Yu" (Hot Bath) because the body resists cooling down after bathing. It offers high heat retention and is also beneficial for achieving beautiful skin.
