Mitaki-dera, Buddhist temple in Nishi-ku, Japan
Mitaki-dera stands on Mount Mitaki slopes, featuring three waterfalls within its forested grounds and numerous stone statues scattered across the pathways.
Founded in 809 by Buddhist monk Kukai, the temple received a two-story pagoda from Wakayama Prefecture in 1951 to honor atomic bomb victims.
The temple serves as the thirteenth station of the Chugoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, drawing worshippers who seek blessings from the Goddess of Mercy.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a 10-minute train ride on the JR Kabe Line from Hiroshima Station to Mitaki Station.
The temple grounds contain three sacred waterfalls that provide water for annual offerings during the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony.
