Kojoji Temple
This temple is in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It is a Soto sect temple venerating Kanzeon Bosatsu, or Kannon the Buddha of Compassion, and although the main temple had been gone since the Meiji period, it was rebuilt in 2010. It is remarkable for its fusion of Japanese and Chinese architecture, and the only remnant of its original building, the three-story pagoda tower, is a designated national treasure.

- Nice enough
- Pleasant enough temple and pagoda but only if you are in the area with some time to spend. Nice walk up the hill through the trees.

- 国宝
- 国宝の三重塔は小ぶりに見えます。が、美しいし、釘を使ってなさそうな作り方で細部は見ごたえがありました。一見の価値はあるかと思います

- 一見よりもじっくり見ると巧みの造り感心
- 一見、地味で、思ったよりも小さいので、山を登って見に来たのに少しがっかりと思いました。しかし、一休みしながら、じっくり見ていると巧みの造りにとても感心、しかも1400年代の建物と思うと圧倒されました。
