Seishin-ji

Seishin-ji Temple stands among green hills north of Hiroshima Airport, featuring traditional architecture and a large pond filled with lotus plants.

Following a devastating fire in 1730 that destroyed numerous temple treasures, the site underwent reconstruction and maintained its connection to the Kobayakawa clan.

This branch temple of Myoshin-ji belongs to the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism and preserves thirteen wooden statues of guardian deities that survived historical fires.

The temple hosts special ceremonies in April and October when visitors can view the thousand-armed Kannon statue, normally kept hidden from public display.

A 1.3-kilometer mountain trail leads from the temple grounds to Bakusetsu-no-taki waterfall, offering opportunities for nature exploration and hiking.
