Walking around the precincts of Hasedera Temple and shooting in 4K.
You can tour the precincts of Hasedera Temple built into the mountain just by watching this video.
During the rainy season, Hasedera Temple offers a very beautiful view with many hydrangeas in bloom.

Hasedera temple gives the name Buzan(plentiful mountain) to the mountain.
It has its beginnings in the first year of Akamidori(686 AD) when the Douban Hokke Sessou Zu(bronze plaque carved with the Hokke Sutra) dedicated to Emperor Temmu was enshurined on a hill to the west of Hatsuseyama by the Buddhist Priest Domyo.
Later in Shiki 4(727 AD), the Buddhist Priest Tokudo enshurined the Juichimen Kanzenonbosatsu(Eleven-Faced Kannon) on the hill to the east at Emperor Shomu’s behest.

The Buddhist Priest Tokudo was a fervent worshiper of the Kannon faith and is also known as the priest who started the Saigoku San-ju-sansho Kannon Reijo(Kansai pilgrimage of 33 sites sacred to Kannon, the Buddhist GOD of Mercy) and Hasedera(Hasedera Temple) is also called the birthplace of that pilgrimage.
The Hase kannon faith has spread throughout Japan, and many people come for Hasemode(worshiping at Hasedera Temple).

In Tensho 16(1588 AD), the Buddhist Bishop Sennyo came to the mountain, and Hasedera Temple became the main temple of the Buzan sect of Japanese Shingon Buddhism, which has 3,000 member temples.
In addtion, as the eighth of the 33 Kansai pilgrimage sites sacred to Kannon, it has a congregation of approximately 2 million people, and throughout the four seosons it attracts numerous whorshipers as the “Temple of Flowers”.
