Wouldn't you like to enjoy this kind of scenery on a nice day?
At the top of Mt. Mitaki, you can enjoy the scenery of the city of Hiroshima spread out over the delta created by the rivers, with many islands floating in the sea.
If you continue past the Yumyo-no-Taki waterfall at Mitaki-dera Temple, you will enter the course A for climbing Mt. Mitaki.
It was a nature-rich walking course, and we saw snakes and frogs as soon as we started walking.
Mt. Mitaki, 356 meters above sea level, is an easy mountain for beginners to try, as we had already climbed up the approach to Mitaki-dera Temple.
Along the way, you can enjoy a variety of natural features such as bamboo groves and rocks.

The day we climbed was a beautiful day, so we could see the Shikoku region across the sea.
At the top of the mountain, there is a pine tree with the name "Soko Matsu(pine tree)".
Soko is the name of Ueda Shigeyasu, who was also a retainer of the Hiroshima domain in the 17th century, and is known to us today as the tea master Ueda Soko.
He is also famous for his work on the Shukkeien Garden.
It was at the top of Mt. Mitaki that Soko planted a large pine tree that could be seen from his residence in Hiroshima Castle and the Shukkei-en Garden.
For this reason, the mountain is also known as "Mt. Soko".
Unfortunately, there are no pine trees left from those days, but now you can see the fourth generation of pine trees.
After enjoying the scenery and taking a break, let's safely go down the mountain.
We took a different course B from the one we came on.
Some places are steep, so please be careful.
On the way, there are places with nice views.
It's a place called "Futagoiwa (twin rocks)".
Two rocks jut out and offer a good view of the city of Hiroshima.
The view was so spectacular that we forgot to take pictures of the two rocks.
From the time we entered Mitaki-dera Temple, up to the top of the mountain, and out of the temple, we walked slowly while taking pictures, and we stayed for about three and a half hours.
