Onomichi Literature Museum
Close to the fourth temple along the temple walk, Hōdo-ji, this museum features displays on the lives and works of Hayashi Fumiko and other writers connected with Onomichi. It's all in Japanese, but the proprietor speaks English and will delight in taking you through it all at length.

Historical Temple Walk
This well-signed trail, taking in 25 old temples, starts just east of the station: take the inland road from the station and cross the railway tracks by the statue of local author Hayashi Fumiko. About a third of the way along the route is a cable car that whisks you up to the hilltop Senkō-ji (千光寺), the best known and most impressive of Onomichi's temples, and its pleasant park.
