What To Expect
Onomichi City Museum Of Art
The Onomichi City Museum of Art, redesigned in 2003 by renowned architect Tadao Ando, combines minimalist concrete architecture with sweeping views of the Seto Inland Sea. Located in scenic Senko-ji Park, the museum hosts rotating exhibitions of contemporary and local art. Its playful fame also comes from two stray cats who repeatedly attempted to “visit,” winning hearts worldwide.
Senko-ji Temple, founded in 806, is one of Onomichi’s most iconic landmarks. Perched high on Mt. Senko-ji, it can be reached by a scenic cable car ride that reveals sweeping views of the city and the Seto Inland Sea. The temple’s vivid red main hall appears to cling to the mountainside, creating a striking contrast against the blue waters and sky. Within the grounds, visitors can explore centuries-old cultural treasures and follow walking paths lined with stone monuments. Seasonal beauty, from cherry blossoms in spring to vibrant foliage in autumn, makes it a beloved destination throughout the year.
