Daihonzan Eiheiji
Eihei-ji Temple is located in Eihei-ji-cho, Yoshida-gun, Fukui Prefecture. It is the main temple of the Soto Zen sect, known as "Kushi-san." It was founded in 1244 by Dogen Zenji as a center for the practice of zazen. Dogen Zenji was born in Kyoto in 1200 and became a monk on Mount Hiei at the age of 14. In the spring of his 24th year, he traveled to Mount Tendo in China to study under Master Nyojo, inheriting the Buddhist teachings of "zazen" (sitting meditation) from Sakyamuni Buddha and returning to Japan. The temple was built according to the style of Mingzhou Zen temples from the Song Dynasty, displaying a typical layout of Zen temples. The ancient temple remains well-preserved, with its simple wooden architecture. The central focus of practice here is zazen, but zazen is not the only aspect. It is important to integrate the spirit of zazen into daily life. For example, the monks' daily work of wiping the corridors with cloths is a form of "dynamic zazen." The brochure has pictures of monks wiping the floor, just like Ikkyu in the cartoon. Visitors interested in praying or learning about Zen meditation may want to take a look.Eiheiji · 12.4 km from Fukui City

Maruoka Castle is one of the top 100 famous castles in Japan and an important cultural property. It is a flat mountain castle with the oldest castle tower in Japan. Maruoka Castle is also known as Kasumi Castle. In the spring, cherry blossoms bloom around the ancient castle. From a distance, it seems to be hidden in the sunset. It is also a popular cherry blossom viewing spot. Maruoka Castle was built in the Warring States Period and has been governed by four generations of castle lords from different forces. It is also a tourist attraction that local residents are proud of.

Very beautiful, impressive, worth a visit. The rooftop has a nice view. The sculptures by the sculptor Mr. Asakura are impressive and very interesting, with many works on display. Some are large, some are small... all are good. With all the above, I think it's worth a visit. We enjoyed it. It's easy to find if you're in the central area of Yanaka.

I recommend the 1-hour Zen meditation experience.
You will be taught by a monk!
The temple grounds are spacious and surrounded by nature, and it feels great. There are souvenir shops, soba restaurants, and restaurants serving miso cutlets nearby, so it's a great place for lunch.

The Yokokan Garden is the villa of the Matsudaira family, the feudal lord. It was renovated by the 7th generation Yoshida. The building is surrounded by a strolling garden with forests and springs. Due to partial damage, it took several years to restore it to its current appearance.
