Kōjō-ji

Kōjō-ji temple stands on a hillside featuring wooden buildings and traditional gardens, where monks conduct daily religious practices and ceremonies.

Construction of the temple began in 1400 under the supervision of Buddhist monk Guchū Shūkyū during the early Muromachi period of Japanese history.

The temple maintains its position as a significant stop along the Chūgoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage route, which connects Buddhist sites across the region.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds using public transportation from Onomichi Station, with regular bus services running throughout the day.

The temple structure incorporates specific architectural elements that earned it the designation of National Treasure status in Japan.
