Vé di động
The highlight of this tour is Mitaki Temple, a peaceful mountainside temple founded in 809 and beloved by locals for centuries. Today, it’s also gaining popularity among international visitors.
The journey begins near the atomic bomb hypocenter, where you'll learn about Hiroshima's past. From there, we leave the city behind and make your way to Mitaki Temple, located halfway up Mt. Mitaki.
Surrounded by forest and stone Buddhist statues, the temple offers a quiet contrast to the city. As you walk through its grounds, you'll encounter a striking pagoda, a bell hall, and buildings that were exposed to the atomic bombing — each with its own story, brought to life by your local guide.
This tour offers more than just sightseeing — it provides a peaceful setting to learn, reflect, and connect with Hiroshima’s ongoing message of peace.

Cần Quan Tâm
You’ll visit several important sites—including the Rest House (a building damaged by the atomic bomb), the hypocenter, and the Atomic Bomb Dome—while listening to explanations from your guide. This part of the tour serves as an introduction to the main experience at Mitaki Temple. It helps you better understand the reality of the atomic bombing and provides context for the stories and places you’ll encounter later in the Mitaki area. After the walk, we’ll take a local bus near the Atomic Bomb Dome at 1:36 PM to the Mitaki area. The ride takes about 18 minutes, although this may vary depending on traffic conditions.
After getting off the bus, we’ll walk to Mitaki Temple. It normally takes about 10 minutes on foot, but we’ll go at a relaxed pace, stopping at a few interesting spots along the way while listening to the guide’s explanations. At Mitaki Temple (admission included), your guide will lead you through the serene mountain grounds. Along the way, you’ll see preserved atomic-bombed buildings, a striking pagoda that symbolizes the temple, numerous stone Buddhist statues, and monuments engraved with peace and remembrance. Through these sites, you'll gain insight into the spirit of Hiroshima — a city that once thrived as a military center, was deeply scarred by the atomic bombing, and has since been reborn as a symbol of peace. After enjoying the walk around Mitaki Temple, we’ll walk about 15 minutes to Mitaki Station and take the train back to Central Hiroshima.

5.00This is a highly recommended tour. Mitaki-dera is filled with a serene atmosphere, and learning how this remote area is deeply connected to the atomic bombing was truly meaningful. With the guide’s clear explanations, the calm surroundings—so different from central Hiroshima—offered a chance to slow down, reflect, and feel refreshed both mentally and emotionally.
Perfect tour to Mitaki temple

5.00Great tour around Mitaki temple in a quiet atmosphere with lots of anecdotes and explanations about the three waterfalls, the magnificent pagoda, tengus, Hiroshima Electric Railway and much more. I also understand the effects of the atomic bomb on the temple itself. It would have been impossible if I had done the tour myself. Moreover, I was so lucky to be there at the end of november to admire the beautiful autumn colours. Thank you so much, I am so happy to have participated in this tour and recommend it to everyone !

5.00It’s a quiet and magical place that’s hard to believe is in the middle of Hiroshima. You can really feel the ancient Japanese spiritual atmosphere, and even today it’s a peaceful place that local people cherish. Through this tour, I learned so much about the history of Mitaki-dera that I had never known before, and it gave me a whole new way of seeing Hiroshima. Riding public transportation was also a fun part of the experience, and since it’s only a few stops away, it wasn’t tiring at all. Being surrounded by nature felt wonderful, and I enjoyed a gentle, mini hiking experience that refreshed both my mind and body. I truly think this tour will become very popular!

5.00After touring important places in Peace Park and listening to the story of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, we took a bus to Mitaki Temple, located 2 kilometers away from Hiroshima city center at the foot of a mountain. At Mitaki Temple, where many buildings that were damaged by the atomic bomb remain, we were able to enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves, reflect on Hiroshima's past, and spend a peaceful time paying tribute to the stone Buddha statues and other relics of ancient times.

5.00I was truly moved by Mitaki Temple! The autumn leaves were still beautiful, and I was delighted to enjoy the stunning red colors as we walked higher up the mountain. Thanks to a guide, I enjoyed the visit many times more than I would have on my own. It is also a spot related to the atomic bombing, and I deeply realized that Hiroshima is a place where people desire peace. The sound of the three waterfalls was very solemn and majestic, making it a truly Japanese location where you could feel the austere beauty. What a sacred place! Since there weren't many tourists, I felt completely at peace. It is definitely a must-visit spot that I would highly recommend. Without a guide, I would never have understood the stories and significance of the place. I am so glad I participated in this tour!

5.00Unlike the Peace Memorial Park or Miyajima, Mitaki Temple is a different place where visitors can enjoy tranquility, though it is closed to the central part of the city.This temple is not only a Buddhism facility but holds some memorials related to the atomic bomb. Visitors can feel a part of the history of Hiroshima.
Amazing place, highly recommend!

5.00Tough not so many foreign people know this place yet, very nice place. Very Japanese environment with a lot of nature. It's better to visit with a small group of a few people. Because the path is not so wide and tranquil.
The tour provides a deep insight into its history.

5.00I've I've visited Mitaki-dera Temple several times before, but this tour sparked even greater interest. I gained insights into its history that surpassed what I could find online or on informational boards, reinforcing my view of its significance. It's also a stunning location, and exploring for Buddha statues and small shrines feels like a delightful treasure hunt.visited Mitaki-dera Temple several times before, but this tour sparked even greater interest.

5.00I was able to feel the damage caused by the atomic bomb from a different angle than being able to enjoy the nature of Japan and negative ions. I think this tour is a valuable opportunity to discover two things: that there is a beautiful place called Mitaki-dera in Hiroshima, and that you can also learn about the story of the atomic bomb there.
