Senkō-ji

Senkoji Temple stands on a mountain slope with its main hall, bell tower, and multiple religious structures spread across the forested grounds.

Founded in the 7th century during Emperor Tenmu's reign, the temple contains a bell from 1225 that holds official designation as a prefectural cultural property.

The temple maintains strong connections to Shugendo practices, with numerous training grounds where visitors can participate in traditional ascetic exercises.

The temple includes a youth hostel facility for overnight stays and can be reached by walking one hour from Motoyamaguchi Station on the Kintetsu Line.

The temple holds special significance for female practitioners of Shugendo, earning it the name 'Women's Mountain Temple' in religious circles.
