I tried zazen at Eiheiji Temple ☺️ A young monk gave me detailed instructions on how to do it, so it was fine even though it was my first time! I think it's better to wear loose-fitting pants though... When I sat in zazen, my jeans were too tight 😂 It's only about 500 yen, so please come and experience it ❤️ #Shrine #Fukui #Eiheiji Temple #Amazing view #Trip to enjoy spring #Trip for couples

The vast grounds are home to over 70 buildings, surrounded by cedar groves, creating a tranquil atmosphere. A highlight is the Seven Halls of the Temple, where the monks live.

Access If you're heading to Eiheiji, I highly recommend driving or renting a car! It's about a 5-minute drive from Eiheiji IC on the Chubu Longitudinal Expressway, making it easily accessible from outside the prefecture. Parking costs ¥300 per day. Note that municipal parking lots charge hourly rates. Personally, I found the private parking lot in front of the approach (guided by a tout). Atmosphere Up the approach, you'll be overwhelmed by the majestic atmosphere, surrounded by the large mountain gate and giant trees! There's an admission fee, but it's well worth it. Zazen Experience (Highly Recommended) Registration is available three times a day with same-day registration. Registration is at the counter on the left side of the main building (¥500). They even accept cashless payments! The training has adapted to the times, lol. This time, about 40 people participated, ranging from children to seniors. Those with bad knees can sit in chairs. No need to worry about being hit! Those who wish can receive a "kiai" (spirit) by joining their hands together in prayer. It was quite strong, and I almost laughed (lol). The monk's explanation was easy to understand and humorous, leaving everyone smiling. Children are welcome, so it's a great family experience. Tour After the experience, we toured the temple grounds along the regular worship route. We got to see regular memorial services and the daily lives of monks, and the atmosphere was completely different from that of a tourist temple. Highly recommended for couples and families. It's a place you'll want to visit again! #Eiheiji #FukuiTourism #ZazenExperience #JapaneseBeauty #ZenExperience #TempleVisit #FamilyTrip #Eiheiji #FukuiJapan #ZenExperience #TempleVisit #MindfulnessJourney #JapanTravel #HiddenGemsJapan

#cityplaybook Fukui in winter is something special. With quiet temples wrapped in snow, crisp mountain air, and a few unexpected surprises, it’s a destination that blends tradition with curiosity. I started my journey at Eiheiji Temple, one of Japan’s most important Zen temples. The sound of snow underfoot and the calm silence of the halls created a meditative kind of magic. Next, I visited Kehi Shrine, known for its massive torii gate and peaceful grounds—especially beautiful in the soft winter light. And then came something completely different: Echizen Daibutsu at Daishizan Seidaiji. The scale of the statue (and the temple around it) was absolutely jaw-dropping. It’s quiet, grand, and strangely under the radar. To finish off the day, I couldn’t resist the Fukui Dinosaur Museum. One of the best in the world, it’s full of life-sized skeletons and fun exhibits—because even peaceful trips need a little roar. Why I recommend Fukui in winter: ・You’ll experience deep stillness at some of Japan’s most sacred places ・The mix of quiet temples and quirky museums makes for a truly unique trip 📍Fukui Prefecture, Japan #Fukui #JapanInWinter #Eiheiji #EchizenDaibutsu #KehiShrine #FukuiDinosaurMuseum #HiddenJapan #ZenEscape #CityGuide #SlowTravel
