Mitaki Temple
About
Mitaki Temple is a serene, forested Buddhist sanctuary tucked away on the slopes of Mount Mitaki, offering a peaceful escape from central Hiroshima. Famous for its three sacred waterfalls, atmospheric moss-covered stone statues, and a beautiful vermilion pagoda, it is especially breathtaking during autumn. Visitors can expect a tranquil, slightly steep hike up forested pathways dotted with poignant memorials to atomic bomb victims.
Insider Tip
Bring small coins (100 yen) for the self-service wooden staff rental at the entrance to help with the steep, uneven stone steps.
