A panoramic view of Hiroshima's proud Japanese heritage Onomichi City from the precincts
Daiho-san Gongen-in Senkoji Temple is located 140m above sea level on the middle slope of Mt. Daiho, overlooking Onomichi Port. It was founded by Kobo Daishi (806) and is said to have been restored by Tada Mitsunaka. The vermilion-painted main hall (1686) with its unusual stage structure is also known as the "Red Hall," and Fumiko Hayashi wrote in her wanderings that "you can see the red Senkoji Temple tower." The "Red Hall," "Tama-no-Iwa," and the "Bell Tower," which was selected as one of the "100 Soundscapes of Japan to be Preserved," are symbols of the temple.
