Onomichi is a hillside port of steep lanes and temples, with a walking route linking more than twenty of them. Ride the ropeway up to Senko-ji and walk down, which is far easier on the knees, then find a bowl of Onomichi ramen, soy broth with bits of pork fat on top.
Ride the Senkoji Ropeway for sweeping Onomichi and Seto Inland Sea views, then explore the temple, park and Cat Alley on foot.
Most Popular★ 4.6“unfortunately we couldn't do the ropeway due to the weather and there was no refund. I still rate it five stars though as the booking process was easy, and it's clearly stated no refunds.”
