Senjokaku, Hatsukaichi

3.8

#4 of 18 in Historic Sites in Hatsukaichi

Religious Site Tourist Spot

Take in the aging and evocative structure of Senjokaku, roughly the size of 1,000 tatami mats. Commissioned in 1587 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three unifiers of Japan), for the purpose of chanting Buddhist sutras to the fallen heroes of war, the building was incomplete when its commissioner passed away, and remains in a sparse state to this day. Though unfinished and lacking a proper entrance, it remains unspoiled, featuring original artworks and decorations on the ceilings and walls. A visit to Senjokaku represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Hatsukaichi family vacation planner to plot your vacation.

無料だった頃から、行ってないってことかな？屋根瓦に　”　王　”　の字、金箔の入った瓦、広さは本当に千畳あるのか、圧巻。さすが、豊臣秀吉の寄進と、納得！！由来をもっと詳しく知りたいと思いました。 more »

That is not done, since it was free? And a tile roof tiles into gold leaf, "King" is truly senjojiki or overwhelming. Indeed, it was donated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and satisfied! I want to learn more from.

広くてここで武士の方たちが会合をしていたのかなぁと思うとロマンを感じました。直ぐ見終わってしまいますが見る価値はあると思います。 more »

豊臣秀吉が亡くなって未完成と言う思いで見てましたが、本当に壁の一部や扉、天井板が無い様です、壁や天井にいっぱいの絵馬や飾り物が有り歴史を感じるなあ、千畳閣ゆえ、かなり広く高台なのでここからの眺めも最高です。風通しも良くしばし休憩してしまいました。 more »

There the full EMA or decorations on the walls and ceiling, and was seen by Toyotomi Hideyoshi died say unfinished thoughts, but really is not part of the wall, door and ceiling panels I feel the history senjokaku because the view from here is great, pretty widely since. Airy better take a rest and I.

Where to stay in Hatsukaichi

With its historic temples and shrines, scenic coastal areas, and wealth of inland trekking potential, Hatsukaichi has a number of accommodations to complement the vast array available in neighboring Hiroshima. Many visitors do decide to stay in the larger city to the east, but if you're particularly set on staying in Hatsukaichi, you won't be disappointed by the choice. Look close to the sea for the more upmarket rooms offering views of the bay, and on some of the narrower side streets for budget-friendly guesthouses and hostels. The same goes for the island just offshore. With its shrine and history, many choose to stay on Itsukushima, close to the Miyajima shrine.
