Senbutudou Jigoku Kyou (Thousand Buddha Caves Hell Gorge)
尾道市瀬戸田町瀬戸田
A Jodo Shinshu Honganji-ha temple located in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, featuring halls modeled after famous Buddhist architectural styles from across Japan. The grounds include an underground sacred site called Senbutudou Jigoku Kyou (Thousand Buddha Caves Hell Gorge) that extends for approximately 350 meters.
History
Established by Kinemoto Kousa, an inventor and industrialist active in Osaka during the Taisho and Showa periods. To mourn his mother, Kinemoto began construction around Chouseikaku, his late mother's villa, with the concept of building halls modeled after famous historical structures from various parts of Japan. The entire complex was completed by 1965 and is now also known as the 'West Nikko.'

A massive artificial cave located underground at Kousa-ji Temple, displaying Buddhist statues and sculptures depicting Hell and the Pure Land. The dimly lit cave interior recreates waterfalls, streams, and hellscapes, allowing visitors to proceed through an atmosphere similar to a theme park attraction. The route is one-way, and the well-maintained space offers a breathtaking experience.
