Have you ever seen a marble garden? The Hill of Hope at Kosanji Temple on Ikuchijima Island in the Seto Inland Sea is a spectacular site. ‘Familial Ties’ is the theme of the garden, which was built to represent a peaceful world filled with hope for the future.
The temple itself dates back to 1936 and is in stark contrast to its modern-style garden. Wander through the temple grounds to admire its unique showcase of replica Buddhist architecture and sculptures from earlier eras.
📍 Accessible by ferry or bus from Onomichi Station.
