Jodo-ji Temple
尾道市東久保町２０−２８
A historic temple serving as the head temple of the Senon-ji branch of the Shingon sect. It houses a National Treasure main hall and a National Treasure manyo-to (many-storied pagoda), as well as an Important Cultural Property standing statue of Eleven-Faced Kannon. It is also the ninth station of the Chugoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.
History
It is said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku. After being revitalized during the Kamakura period, it received external protection from figures such as Ashikaga Takauji during the Northern and Southern Courts period and was heavily utilized as a site for prayers for victory in battle. In the early modern period, with the support of wealthy merchants, it transformed into a temple centered on the faith of common people.

What visitors say
The temple grounds offer a magnificent view overlooking the Seto Inland Sea and the Onomichi Channel. There are many historic structures worth seeing, and the explanations provided for the omamori (protective amulets) are thorough. Many pigeons can be found within the grounds, and a Shugendo (mountain asceticism) path leading to the Jodo-ji Fudo-iwa Observatory continues from the back of the temple.
