浄土寺 本堂

The main hall of Jodo-ji is said to have been erected in 1327 and has been designated as a national treasure. It seems that there is a shrine on the Buddhist altar in the company that holds the 11-sided Kannon statue, which is said to be a secret Buddha.

The kindness of the priests is also wonderful.

There were no pigeons probably because there were many people.

The main hall of national treasure was very wonderful.

It was a wonderful temple. Please go to see it once

Hiroshima Prefecture has nine national treasure buildings, and is the area with the fifth largest number of national treasure buildings in the national ward following Kyoto, Nara, Shiga, and Hyogo. In Hiroshima Prefecture, Onomichi City is second only to Hatsukaichi City, and has the main hall of Jodoji Temple, the Tahoto Pagoda, the Mie Pagoda of Ikuchijima Island, and three national treasure buildings. Among them, the main hall of this Jodoji temple has an eclectic roof with the main tiled roof of the Irimaya, and has a particularly high presence. I felt that the atmosphere was very similar to the main hall of the National Treasure Myo-in in the neighboring city of Fukuyama, which was built shortly before this temple. It is a powerful main hall even if you look at it.

This may be one of the major aftereffects of the atomic bomb, but there are few national treasure buildings in Hiroshima prefecture. Even under such circumstances, the main hall, Tahoto and two national treasures are carefully preserved here at Jodo-ji Temple. If you go by car, a slightly thrilling narrow road stands in front of the parking lot ?️, and when you step into the temple grounds, you will be greeted by a pigeon reminiscent of Hitchcock's "bird". Onomichi is a very good city ?
