What other travelers are saying about Mitaki-dera Temple
Honestly one of the most beautiful temples I’ve ever been to and I’ve seen many. It’s quite hidden and there are not many people going there, also mostly locals, so not as touristy as other ones.
I also highly recommend hiking up the mountain or going into the forest a little bit it’s a very nice view from up top, took like 1-1,5h and is a quite easy hike (feels like 3/10)
One of the most beautiful temple I’ve ever seen. The wooden structures are built within the rocks on the mountain which creates an incredible atmosphere.
Whilst you’re there I recommend hiking to the top of the mountain as you’ll have several unforgettable scenic spots looking over Hiroshima. If you do though, be aware that the temple close at 5pm so make sure to be back by then.
Absolutely beautiful. Well worth the trip out of town! I almost didn't go because it was so hot but it's actually cooler there under the trees with all the running water.
This is a magical place of great peace and serenity. Loved it to bits. There's a kind old lady next to the temple selling charms and providing information for visitors. You throw the entrance donation into a wooden box with 5 openings. I'd visit again!
