I had read about a waterfall temple near Hiroshima in the Lonely Planet guide and I really wanted to go so on our last day in Hiroshima we set out to find Mitaki-ji. It was such an amazing place but I don't think many people know about it. There is one main temple set in a tropical forest with small waterfalls around the place. There are so many statues and places to pray throughout the forest. It was so beautiful and green and I loved seeing all the statues. There were also a lot of spiders and Marie saw 2 snakes! Mitaki-ji is such an amazing place where I could spend all day just looking around.
A Japanese lady was praying here and placing offerings to the gods and she showed me how to scoop the water and throw it over the statues.

Hi.
Very interesting.
You brought my memories back.
It was a big coincidence that I was in the same place in 24th August 2007!
