OD Right in the last week
The temple is nice, but in the end, it's a temple, albeit quite well maintained and also very calm and peaceful. What's better is the trail up to Mitakiyama, which you should definitely take. I strongly recommend taking the A course if you're not into climbing steep inclines. B course is really steep. In addition, a course leads you through a nice bamboo forest and over a small dam. Be nice and pay the entrance fee at the temple entrance to the left. They deserve it!

Great place to visit on the outskirts of Hiroshima city for a peaceful and quiet walk in the woods. It's best to visit in the autumn season. There are free limited parking slots at the entrance.

Such a gem of a temple nestled in the forest hillside. It's about a 15 min walk from the local station. Not many tourists visit so you're likely to have the place to yourself. Beautiful gardens and walkway path up stairs with sound of water trickling down rocks.

Very nice temple to visit, just to get out of Hiroshima city Easy to get there from Hiroshima city by JR. Just 8 minutes. Then you walk up the mountain for about 20 min. It's very quiet and serene.

Just amazing way to finish with Hiroshima. After some bus stops, you just end up in the middle of the forest with pagodas, temples and Buddha statues. And for the most stouthearted, the ascension for the view point above Hiroshima starts there, and it's definitely worth the view !
