    Nice temple complex with garden and 3 waterfalls and pagoda. Starting point for a beautiful 6 km hike through the amazing bamboo forest and mountain behind. Easily accessible from Mitaki Station

        The Mitaki-dera Temple, meaning "Three Waterfalls Temple," is a serene and historically significant Shingon Buddhist site founded in 809 A.D. Known for its tranquil, heavily forested location and three beautiful waterfalls (whose water is traditionally used in the annual Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony), the temple is a crucial spiritual retreat. Its two-story, crimson Tahōtō Pagoda was relocated here in 1951 specifically to console the souls of the atomic bomb victims, cementing its role as a quiet memorial and a symbol of peace and natural beauty amidst Hiroshima's mountains.
