Mitsutaki-ji

〒733-0805 広島県広島市西区三滝山411

4.6(1170)

A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect located on Mount Mitsutaki in Nishi Ward, Hiroshima City. It is also the 13th station of the Chugoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and the 15th station of the Hiroshima Shikoku 88 Pilgrimage. It is well known as a scenic spot for cherry blossoms and autumn foliage.

History

It is said to have been founded in 809 CE (Daido 4) by Kukai (Daihoshi). Located on the mid-slopes of Mount Mitsutaki, it remained largely undamaged during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 and served as a temporary first-aid station. The temple grounds feature three waterfalls: Komagataki, Bon-on no Taki, and Yumei no Taki. The water from these falls is used for the offering of water at the Peace Memorial Ceremony.

What visitors say

Despite being located in central Hiroshima City, this quiet mountain temple is rich in water-related scenery, including waterfalls, streams, and ponds scattered throughout the hills. A row of stone statues lines the approach to the main hall, and the surrounding trees are beautifully colored during the autumn foliage season. With a parking lot and a tea house available, it is a place where visitors can worship at a leisurely pace in a calm atmosphere.
