The real charm of Mitaki is in its atmosphere. As you make your way up the moss-covered stone steps, you pass hundreds of Buddhist images and Jizō statues in their bright red caps and bibs- each with its own unique expression. All the temple paths are shady and green and as you get closer to the far reaches of the grounds, the trees become more and more magnificent, as if it were almost enchanted.
