Hiroshima Pref. Onomichishi Setodachousetoda 57

This temple is in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It is a Soto sect temple venerating Kanzeon Bosatsu, or Kannon the Buddha of Compassion, and although the main temple had been gone since the Meiji period, it was rebuilt in 2010. It is remarkable for its fusion of Japanese and Chinese architecture, and the only remnant of its original building, the three-story pagoda tower, is a designated national treasure.

Pleasant enough temple and pagoda but only if you are in the area with some time to spend. Nice walk up the hill through the trees.

Hiroshima Areas

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
