Senkoji Temple in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is an ancient temple located halfway up the mountain, offering spectacular views of the Seto Inland Sea and the Onomichi Channel. Its striking vermilion main hall and stage-like architecture built into the rock face create a stunning, almost floating temple. ⛩️🌅
When you visit, you can take the ropeway to the top of the mountain and then leisurely walk down the slope to worship. Along the way, you'll find the Literary Path and an observation deck, allowing you to soak up the Onomichi atmosphere. The temple grounds are dotted with power spots, such as Tama no Iwa (Tama Rock) and the Bell Tower, which truly purify the soul.
In the evening, the sea and city are bathed in a sunset glow, creating a truly photogenic scene. 📸✨ It's perfect for a stroll with your partner or a relaxing solo trip.
Access is approximately a 20-minute walk from JR Onomichi Station, or a 3-minute ropeway ride to the summit. There are many slopes, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
