Onomichi Senko ji Temple deity and townscape

Senkō-ji Park

Senkō-ji Temple is located 140 meters above sea level, on the slopes of Mt. Daihō above Onomichi. This large complex of highly varied buildings on several levels stands among mysterious rocky outcrops. The whole mountaintop is known as Senkō-ji Park, encompassing the temple and the Onomichi City Art Museum, more glass and concrete courtesy of architect Andō Tadao. Another new concrete addition is the Senkō-ji Observation Platform. It affords an amazing view over Onomichi, the Onomichi Channel, and the islands of the Shimanami Kaidō.
