Senkō-ji is a historic Buddhist temple located in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It is part of the Chugoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and is known for its picturesque setting on a hillside that offers stunning views of the city and the Seto Inland Sea. Founded in the 9th century, the temple features a distinctive red main hall, known as the Senkō-ji Hondo, and the iconic Bell Tower (Senkō-ji no Kane), which dates back to the Edo period. The area around the temple is part of Senkō-ji Park, a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing in spring. Visitors often enjoy walking the stone-paved paths and exploring the numerous small shrines and statues scattered throughout the park.
