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.

The Tahōtō (two-story pagoda) at Mitaki-dera Temple is a striking crimson structure located near the entrance of the complex. Its main significance in Hiroshima is as a memorial for the atomic bomb victims. Although the pagoda itself dates back to 1526 (Muromachi period) and is a Prefectural Important Cultural Property, it was relocated to Mitaki-dera in 1951 from the Hiro Hachiman Shrine in Wakayama Prefecture. The purpose of this relocation was specifically to soothe the spirits of those who perished in the 1945 bombing. Inside, it enshrines a wooden seated statue of Amida Nyorai, which is designated a National Important Cultural Property.
