This is a Buddhist temple standing on the edge of the Hiroshima delta.
It is some distance away but couldn't escape the intense blast when the
city was exposed to the atomic bombing. In 1960s, many of the structures
on the premises were rebuilt. At the time of the A-bombing, the temple
served as a temporary shelter and many A-bombing related memorials are
seen, making the temple different from others.
The temple nestles in the mountains quietly, emanating an atmosphere Kyoto and Kamakura temples tend to have. The beautiful foliage of red maple leaves in fall are well-known and the temple attracts lots of visitors. |
