Jodoji Temple
浄土寺
An ancient temple said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku. Its main hall and multi-treasure pagoda are National Treasures, and it marks the eastern end of the Onomichi temple pilgrimage.
According to tradition, the temple was founded by Prince Shotoku. The main hall and the multi-treasure pagoda, both rebuilt in 1327, are National Treasures. The Amida Hall, the main gate and other buildings are Important Cultural Properties, and the complex preserves the architectural style of the late Kamakura period in full. The garden behind the abbot's quarters and the tea house “Roteki-an,” moved here from Fushimi Castle, require an admission fee. The film *Tokyo Story* was shot here. The temple is about 2 km east of Onomichi Station and can be reached by bus or on foot along the temple pilgrimage route.
