Mitaki-dera Temple / 三瀧寺

Mitaki-dera is a historic Buddhist temple nestled in the mountains of Hiroshima City. Surrounded by dense forest, moss-covered stone paths, waterfalls, and traditional Buddhist architecture, the temple has a particularly atmospheric character that changes with the seasons.

The temple is especially beautiful in autumn, when the surrounding trees turn brilliant shades of red and orange, but it is also worth visiting in winter and spring for its quiet atmosphere and lush natural surroundings. The sound of flowing water and the many small waterfalls along the temple grounds make this a peaceful place to explore and photograph.

Although Mitaki-dera is located within Hiroshima City, it feels surprisingly remote and secluded. It is a good destination for photographers looking for a quieter side of Hiroshima away from the city's better-known tourist attractions.

Access:
Mitaki-dera can be reached without a car. From JR Mitaki Station, the temple can be reached on foot, although the walk involves an uphill route. Buses also run to the area around the temple, making public transportation a convenient option for visitors staying in central Hiroshima.

三瀧寺は、広島市の山間にある歴史ある寺院です。深い森に囲まれた境内には、苔むした石段や石造物、滝、伝統的な仏教建築が点在し、四季を通して非常に雰囲気のある風景を楽しむことができます。

特に秋は紅葉の名所として知られていますが、冬や春にも静かな雰囲気と豊かな自然を楽しむことができます。境内にはいくつもの滝や水の流れがあり、その音を聞きながら散策できるのも三瀧寺の魅力です。

広島市内にありながら、街の喧騒から離れた山寺のような静けさを感じられる場所です。有名な観光地とは少し違った、静かな広島を撮影したい人にもおすすめのロケーションです。
