After a short introduction in central Hiroshima, we head to Mitaki, where the main experiences take place. At the temple, you’ll see a striking pagoda, a bell hall, many stone Buddhist statues, and more as you try small activities and take easy walks, connecting with the spirit of peace in Hiroshima, with some photo-friendly spots along the way. These experiences help you understand what Hiroshima’s past can teach us today.
