    Hiroshima Pref. Onomichishi Setodachousetoda 553-2
    The temple of Jodo Shinshu in Setoda Town, Onomichi City. It was established in 1936 by Kouzo Kousanji, an industrialist, to ensure his mother’s bodai or enlightment. The temple itself is the museum and inside the exhibition hall there are displays of cultural properties such as artifacts of Buddhism, tea ceremony and drawings. Many temples were built mimicking Japanese architecture and 15 buildings, including the main hall, are registered as Tangible Cultural Properties of the country. It is also called “the Sunlight in the West”.

    I had the Kosanji Temple marked on my maps as a must when I rode my bike on the Shimanami Kaido. I was really looking forward to visiting the temple but the entrance price really threw me off...

    I usually whine when I have to go to art museums. However, this art museum was so well done, that I wished we could have spent more time. Some of the art was combined with the garden outside in a...

    This is a museum modelled as a castle and exhibits materials related to Murakami, Innoshima. The castle was built in 1983 under the supervision of the historian, Tatsuya Naramoto. From the period of the Northern and Southern Courts to the Sengoku period, the Murakami Navy controlled the sea routes around this whole area, and they prospered as a “Suigun” (naval forces) kingdom. The main citadel is a naval archives, the outer citadel is an exhibition room and the corner tower is an observation platform.

    因島の村上海賊の拠点です。城の中は資料館になっていて海軍に関する資料が展示されています。 村上3家のそれぞれの歴史を調べてみると面白いかと思います。

    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.

    Outdoor sculptures are strewn about Ikuchi-jima Island. The artists themselves think about where to install them. They create the pieces with the location in mind before exhibition. There are 17 pieces in all including themes of wind, sea, and musical instruments. Indeed, the whole island is like an art museum, covered with sights to see.

    This Buddhist temple is connected to the Imperial Family, and records state it was founded in 730 by the priest Gyoki on the order of Emperor Shomu. The temple is located a 10-minute drive from the Ikuchijima-kita Interchange on the Nishiseto Expressway. Some of the temple’s many highlights include a 13-tier stone pagoda and a statue depicting a seated Amitabha which is the temple’s principal object of worship, both designated National Important Cultural Properties; and a five-tier stone pagoda dedicated to the wife of Emperor Go-Shirakawa and the great priest Honen.

In most years, the temple holds a Nehan-e memorial service for Gautama Buddha on the last Sunday in March, and during this event the grounds bustle with visitors.

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.
