[Hiroshima Takehara] Shorenji Temple

[Access] ○About 20 minutes on foot from Takehara Station on the JR Kure Line. [Points] ~A look into the history of Shorenji Temple~ It is said that it used to be called Jorinji Temple and was a Zen temple of the Soto sect. It seems that it became the Nishi Honganji sect when Sogu entered the temple in 1603 and converted to Shinshu. The temple's Goryeo bell, which is 68.3 cm tall, 40 cm in diameter, and 3 cm thick on the rim, is a national important cultural property. When sightseeing in Takehara, this is the tourist spot farthest from the station. A good tourist route would be to walk to Shorenji Temple and then walk back to the station. *Information as of March 2024. #Sakura2024
