It is said that Prince Shotoku was founded, and it is one of the oldest temples in the Chugoku region.
Jōdo-ji Temple is said to have been founded by Prince Shōtoku in the distant Asuka period, and is one of the most ancient temples in the Chūgoku region.
As a temple cherished by the people of Onomichi, which developed as a vital port on the Seto Inland Sea, it has been supported by the townspeople of each era, along with the prosperity of the port, and has stood for approximately 700 years since the end of the Kamakura period.
The setting sun in the west of the temple grounds shines so brightly that it evokes the world of the Pure Land, and the main hall, Amida hall, and pagoda illuminated by the light of the rising sun are simply magnificent.
