Myooin Temple (Hiroshima Prefecture)
A historic Shingon Buddhist temple (Daikakuji branch) said to have been founded in 807 by Kobo Daishi (Kukai). Its Main Hall and Five-Story Pagoda are designated National Treasures. Built in 1321, the National Treasure Main Hall features Secchuyo-style architecture, which blends traditional Japanese (Wayō) design with elements of Chinese (Karayō) style. It is the oldest of its kind among similar structures around the Seto Inland Sea.
The photos come out with such a great vibe.
The bridge, the trees, the pagoda—you get the full Japanese aesthetic all in one place. -
Houkokuji Temple
This Kamakura temple received a three-star rating in the Michelin Green Guide Japan, a tourist guidebook aimed at overseas visitors to Japan.
After visiting Houkokuji Temple, I was deeply moved by its spiritual atmosphere and rich history. The temple's architecture and garden design really showcase the charm of ancient Japanese culture—truly impressive.

Mt. Haguro
This 414-meter-high mountain lies northwest of Mt. Gassan, the main peak of the three mountains of Dewa. A 29-meter-high, five-story pagoda blends into a grove of cedar trees, a few minutes' walk along a mountain path from Zuishinmon gate by the bus stop.
Mt. Haguro is a place full of natural beauty and spiritual atmosphere. Walking along the mountain path, surrounded by fresh air and lush greenery, really lifts your spirits.
