There are two routes to reach the Jodoji Observation Deck. The first is a more adventurous hike, starting from Jodoji Temple at the base of the mountain. This route includes some climbing with the help of chains, offering a thrilling experience that feels like a true mountain trek.

The second route is more accessible, allowing you to drive most of the way up the mountain. From the parking area, it's only about a 200-meter walk to the observation deck, making it perfect for those who want to experience a bit of hiking without too much effort.

The view of the Onomichi Channel from the observation decks is breathtaking. From the west, there's Narutaki Mountain Observatory, followed by Senkoji Temple Observatory, and finally Jodoji Mountain Observatory in the east, which is the focus here. With an elevation of around 180 meters, it's an easy and enjoyable walk, even for older visitors.

Access to the Observatory

From Onomichi City:

  • Approximately 15 minutes by car from central Onomichi. From the parking area, it’s a 3-minute walk to the observatory.

  • Note: Roads are difficult to pass for larger vehicles.

By Car:

  1. From National Route 2, turn at the "Onomichi Ohashi Entrance" intersection.

  2. Follow the signs towards "Shintakayama." There is limited parking near the summit.

  3. Important: Be careful not to enter "Onomichi Ohashi."

  4. At the end of the road, turn left at "Onomichi City Hospital," then turn right at the field (signposted).

  5. Beyond this point, access is challenging for vehicles larger than standard cars.

On Foot:

  • From the east side of Jodoji Temple, take the "Kannon Path" for approximately 30 minutes (around 800 meters).

  • From Onomichi Station, take the "Shimin Hospital Line" or "Setoda Line" on the Onomichi Bus and get off at "Shimin Hospital." From there, it’s a 20-minute walk (about 1.3 km).
