Tenneiji

Tenneiji is a Zen temple with a long history as an ancient temple of Onomichi. Famous for its beautiful three-tiered pagoda, it stands quietly on a small elevated place overlooking Onomichi's townscape. Tradition holds that as a temple associated with the Ashikaga clan, it received deep devotion from the samurai class. The grounds are enveloped in silence, offering an atmosphere conducive to peaceful worship. The landscape formed by the three-tiered pagoda and Onomichi's townscape truly embodies the beauty of Japan, bringing solace to the hearts of many people.
