Senko-ji Temple is a tourist attraction located halfway up Mount Taiho in Onomichi City. From the vermilion-lacquered main hall, you can see the city of Onomichi below and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea in the distance. The temple grounds are home to a group of megaliths of various shapes, among them the Tama no Iwa, which has a shining ball at its top and is said to have illuminated the area at night. A good way to visit Senkoji Temple is to take the Senkoji Ropeway, which runs between the foot of the mountain and the summit. It is an elegant aerial walk with a length of 365 m, which takes about three minutes. Senkoji Temple is located approximately 10 minutes downhill from the summit station. Near the foot of the mountain, there is a cat paradise called Neko no Hosomichi, dotted with cat objects and inhabited by local cats.
