What makes Mitaki Temple and its waterfalls special

Mitaki feels very different from central Hiroshima. Shaded paths, traditional lanterns, stone statues, old trees and moss-covered surfaces create a peaceful setting for walking and photography.

One of the most distinctive sights is the vermilion pagoda, which according to the activity description was moved to Mitaki after World War II. The route also leads toward the temple's three waterfalls.
