Onomichi: Mt.Senkoji Ropeway

Onomichi is a charming coastal city in Hiroshima Prefecture with a population of around 130,000 residents, known for its hillside temples, narrow alleys, and sweeping views over the Seto Inland Sea. It stretches along a long, narrow waterfront, with ferries connecting the city to nearby islands such as Mukojima, Innoshima, and Ikuchijima. Onomichi is also the starting point of the famous 70-kilometer Shimanami Kaido cycling route, which links Honshu to Shikoku via a chain of spectacular bridges. The city's old-town atmosphere features traditional wooden houses, stone stairways, and the iconic Temple Walk with more than 20 historic temples. Its cinematic scenery has inspired many Japanese films, making Onomichi a beloved destination for peaceful coastal views and classic Japanese charm.

The webcam set at the summit station of the Mount Senkoji Ropeway offers a stunning 4K live view over the Onomichi Strait, a designated Japanese Heritage Site known for its island-dotted scenery and historic waterfront. From this elevated point, viewers can watch the ropeway cabins gliding up and down the hillside, with the city and Seto Inland Sea unfolding in the background. The camera captures the strait's bridges, the ships moving across the calm water, and the compact townscape that defines Onomichi's coastal charm. At night, the lights of the city, harbor, and bridges create a glowing panorama that makes the scene especially beautiful. This webcam is ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy Onomichi's serene, mountaintop views both day and night.
