What other travelers are saying about Mitaki-dera Temple
Tranquil temple with lots of water ways and waterfalls. You can relax your mind by listening to the water and the birds. Follow the flow of the water and take the small hike behind the last building and enjoy the sound and the smell of a cedar forest. Happy that we came here all the way from the hustling and bustling city center! The entrance fee is 200 ¥ per person and you can play music with your coins. Happy for those who have enough 10¥ coins with them.
This is the loveliest shrine and gardens I've visited. It is a beautiful connection of nature and spirituality and humanity. The scale of the shrines is small and personal and inviting like no other place I've seen.
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.
