厂别苍办艒-箩颈 is the best known and most impressive of Onomichi's temples. Among its features is the 办测艒-辞苍谤艒, a bell tower whose bell always rings in the new year 鈥 the sound of this bell is registered as one of the '100 soundscapes of Japan'. The temple appears almost grown into the hillside, with views out to sea, and is reachable on the historic temple walk (after a steep 15- to 25-minute hike for most) or by the 厂别苍办艒-箩颈-yama Ropeway.
