"Mitaki-dera Temple", a quiet temple built on a mountain in Hiroshima City

When we ask foreigners living in Hiroshima what is the best place to visit in Hiroshima, we often get the answer, "Mitaki-dera Temple.


This place is truly a hidden gem.

Even though it is located very close to the center of Hiroshima City, it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The temple facilities are scattered along the mountain, and people can stroll around and enjoy the changing seasons of the mountain.

What is your favorite part of the Japanese mountains?
"The abundance of greenery", "the chirping of birds", "the sound of running water", "the cool breeze and mist".
All of these are here.

By the way, "Mitaki-dera Temple" is written in Chinese characters as a temple with three waterfalls.
