Mitaki-dera in Hiroshima, Japan

This temple in Hiroshima is accessible by public transportation thanks to one bus that passes every hour. It is at the end of a small residential road. At the end of a row of houses is a path that leads to a large hidden pagoda, hundreds of small Buddha statues, trees everywhere, and even a small waterfall. If you're feeling stouthearted, this picturesque scene is the starting pont for a 30 minute hike through the middle of a bamboo forest. At the top of the incline is the payoff: a panoramic view of Hiroshima below.
