Onomichi

About Onomichi

Onomichi is an unmissable destination in Japan, offering a charming atmosphere that seamlessly blends traditional and modern elements. Visitors are drawn to the city's scenic views of the Seto Inland Sea, particularly from the 88-benched 'Sacred Sites on the Shikoku Pilgrimage' path. One unique thing travellers love about Onomichi is its unique 'Kokubunji Temple Street' where over 30 temples and shrines are located, making it a peaceful and visually stunning experience. The best time to visit Onomichi is during the spring season (March to May) when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the weather is mild and pleasant. First-time visitors would do well to purchase a 'Onomichi Kannon Pilgrimage Map' which provides detailed information about the city's temples, shrines, and scenic spots, making it easier to navigate and plan their itinerary.
