Senkoji, the symbol of Onomichi, is a historic temple founded in 806, characterized by its red main hall built as if jutting out from a cliff. The breathtaking view of the Seto Inland Sea archipelago and Onomichi city from there is world-renowned. Massive rocks are scattered throughout the temple grounds, making it a power spot where you can feel the energy of nature. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom profusely, painting the entire mountain in pink. You can enjoy an aerial walk to the top via ropeway, and for the return, walking down the emotional slopes like "Cat Alley" is recommended. It is one of the most beloved places in Onomichi, where history, faith, and spectacular views are integrated.
