[Fukui x Echizen Daibutsu] The grounds are so huge! Everything is on a grand scale!

📍Daishiyama Seidaiji Temple (Echizen Great Buddha) 50-1-1 Katase, Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture About 6 minutes walk from Katase bus stop/Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture Opening hours 8:00-17:00 ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ The largest Echizen Great Buddha in Japan! So, of course, the Great Buddha Hall is also large! It was built in 1987 by a local businessman using his own money, so it is a temple with a short history. The total construction cost is said to be 38 billion yen. The admission fee is 500 yen for adults and 300 yen for elementary, middle and high school students. After paying the admission fee, enter the temple grounds. A magnificent Daimon gate. Two Nio statues were placed on either side of the gate. I was simply overwhelmed by the sheer size of the statue. #Fukui #Fukui Prefecture #Echizen Daibutsu #Large Scale #The Largest in Japan #Great Buddha Hall #Hokuriku Trip #Spring 0 Yen Trip
