Onomichi ✿ Kosanji: Hiroshima's Most Beautiful Secret - 尾道市の耕三寺 - Japan As It Truly Is
Few make it to Onomichi, fewer still to Kosanji - one of Japan's most beautiful temples. The detail and size are astonishing.
Kosanji is not old, though. It was expanded from a villa made in 1927 by an industrialist for his mother. After she died in 1934, in 1936 Kōsanji grew into a temple built in memorial to all mother's love for their children, and the current form took over 3 decades to construct.
One of the most fantastic elements is the Hell Cave, combining elements that remind you of Buddhist cosmology, Disneyland, Halloween, and Dante's Inferno.
For experienced Japan travelers, if you think you have seen some of the buildings elsewhere, you are right - there are clones of the Yomeimon Gate in Nikko and the Byodoin Phoenix Hall in Uji. The amount of detail put into the entire temple is simply astounding, and you haven't seen the best of Japan until you see this place.
People are often surprised how colorful the place is, a lot more like SE Asian temples, and traditionalists may frown at how bright, even gaudy, some things may look. Some Japanese fret at how it's more of a museum than a temple. But after getting templed out in other cities like Kyoto, where everything can become a blur, you certainly won't forget this place long after you leave it.
Additionally, there is the Miraishin no Oka, a massive stone structure at the top of the hill made of marble shipped in from Italy.
Sadly, few travelers know this place exists, and they leave Onomichi thinking it is just a quaint hillside walk though some humdrum small temples.

Mitakidera Temple in 4K - Hiroshima's Secret Jewel - 三瀧寺●広島市 - Japan As It Truly Is
The gorgeous Mitakidera Temple is the unseen gem ignored by the tourist mobs. Come and discover what they are all missing.
Mitakidera (三瀧寺) really should be at the top of the list for anyone going to visit Hiroshima City. But while so many go to see the Peace Park and museum, very few find this tranquil oasis and end of missing one of Japan's very finest. Mitaki-dera has a history going back 1200 years, and its name means Temple of the 3 Waterfalls. You can actually see several inside, and a flowing stream all around you will help deliver the Japan experience you've always wanted - and these days is harder to come by with the huge tourist crowds all around you.
The Mitakidera Temple also suffered damage from the Atomic bombing, being barely more than 3 km from the explosion. The Tahoto Pagoda was moved there in 1951 from Wakayama as a memorial to those killed. Today Mitakidera has a forest ravine stroll with statues on both mountainsides looking down, and a beautiful verdant green that almost glows around you.
For those interested in hiking, you can also go through the temple and take some trails leading up to the 356m mountaintop. Mitaki-dera is also beautiful in late November for its beautiful autumn colors, and their annual Maple Festival is on the 3rd Sunday of November. The cherry blossoms are also beautiful, on average starting around the end of March.
Mitakidera is a 20 minute walk from the JR Kabe Line's Mitaki Station, on Hiroshima City's west side. You can also take Bus #22 from Hiroshima Stn to Mitaki Kannon. Admission is 200 yen. Open hours are 8 AM to 5:30 PM (Dec-Feb ~5 PM).

Onomichi Hiroshima, Japan. 広島,日本 (Temple walk)
Onomichi is a city located in Hiroshima prefecture. It is a small city but it is famous for its Temple walk. The walk is about two and a half kilometres long.
Unfortunately I didn't video as much as I should have. There is much more to see on the Temple walk with many shops along the way. The best time to go is spring as there are many sakura blossoms along the temple walk.
Check out my other videos!

Please watch: ???????? Is HONG KONG SAFE for TOURISTS? | 2019 HONG KONG PROTESTS | MY EXPERIENCE (with subtitles)
--~--
Are YOU planning a Japan trip in 2018? Looking for things to do in Hiroshima? The Onomichi Temple Walk is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in Japanese culture by checking out numerous Japanese shrines and temples (over 25 in Onomichi), visit Cat Alley and take the ropeway (or walk) up Mount Senko-ji.
However! Onomichi is a typical small Japanese town (almost like a ghost town and pretty deserted) with most local shops being closed on certain weekdays, which is frustrating! To actually find some life in Onomichi head to the area clos to Onomichi Station, where you can find Onomichi U2, with places to shop and eat.
Please note the negativity and sarcasm in this video is exactly that and is a reflection of how it can feel being in Japan for an extended period! Extreme honesty is a trademark of my channel and no offence is intended - Japan is awesome!
Overall Onomichi is probably a great place to visit in Japan, just not in early February when it's freezing cold and snowing!

Exploring Onomichi, Japan | cinematic video
This hilly port town is “Onomichi”, which is one hour and a half away from Hiroshima city by train.
This town is kind of small but there are a bunch of ways to hang out here.
1. Looking around Japanese traditional temples
You can enjoy more than 50 temples here and the atmospheres are more local than Kyoto.
2. Interacting with thousands of adorable cats
According to someone’s estimate, the reason why there are many cats here is that this town has a port and they have came up to the fishes lol
3. Eating the local foods
I think “Onomichi ramen” is the best soy source soup ramen in the world.
Other than these, you can enjoy cycling in the location where have been chosen one of the most beautiful cycling roads in the world by CNN.
When you have any plan to visit around Hiroshima, check this amazing spot for sure!!
