Anraku-ji temple is a beautiful buddhist temple on a backstreet in a Hiroshima city suburb called Ushita. The temple gate is impressive with its intricate wooden carved beams and walls. The main structure is also made entirely of beautifully crafted wooden beams and carvings. The purple curtain in front is in the motif of wisteria (as discovered by a viewer on this livestream).
The highlight for me is the A-bomb survivor Ginko tree which has grown back so beautifully providing a lovely atmosphere for the entire property. The tree has been allowed to grow through the front gate of the temple which is absolutely stunning.
