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

I was surprised to see that it had become a ruin!! I googled it and found out that it was an abandoned Echizen Daibutsu... It is said to be a legacy of the bubble economy, and the unpaid debts amount to 4 billion yen The city seized it, but it was released with no prospect of recovery. It is currently owned by the religious corporation Seidaiji Temple. #Fukui #Echizen Buddha #Fukui Prefecture #Hokuriku Trip #Ruins #Spring 0 yen trip

Echizen Daibutsu is overwhelming no matter how many times I visit. I came here in the summer before, but this time I came to see the winter scenery!

Of course, the impressive 17m-tall Buddha and over 1,000 small Buddhas are worth seeing, but the special viewing of the sea of ​​clouds, which is limited to twice a day, is the best! I stayed the night before in Katsuyama just to see this 😂 lol The artificial sea of ​​clouds creates a spectacular view like a "fairyland" By the way, the Buddha here is bigger than the Great Buddha of Nara, and has an overwhelming scale. The grounds leading up to the Great Buddha Hall are spacious, including a Japanese garden with swimming koi fish, the tallest five-story pagoda in Japan offering a panoramic view of the town of Katsuyama, a gigantic gate and a Nio statue over 7m tall...all of which are impressive! In autumn, the ginkgo trees in the temple grounds turn yellow and show a different side to the temple🍂 By the way, the Nio statues were made in China and transported by sea🌊 On the way from the parking lot to the main gate, there is a quiet temple town, and I like the view of the five-story pagoda from there *The date for the 2025 event has not yet been decided𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓐄𓐄𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 From the official website 1000 yen (special viewing) 500 yen (normal) From the official website of 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 8:00-17:00 (subject to change in winter) From the official website of 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 50-1-1 Katase, Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #tripdomestictravel #katsuyamacity #fukui #fukuitrip

#November Good Places 2024 Located in Fukui Prefecture, the Echizen Great Buddha is a treasure trove of attractions that are well worth a visit, although transportation is more inconvenient. And there are very few people, so you can quietly feel the grandeur in front of the Great Buddha Hall. There are hundreds of brick statues of Buddhas, large and small, extending all the way to the ceiling inside the Echizen Great Buddha Hall

"Echizen Great Buddha" Today we will be introducing the Echizen Great Buddha in Fukui Prefecture! The Echizen Great Buddha is a large Buddha located at Daishizan Seidaiji Temple, a Rinzai sect temple of the Myoshinji school in Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture. This Echizen Great Buddha is also known as the Shusse Daibutsu. This Great Buddha is 17m tall, more than 2m taller than the seated Great Buddha of Nara, and is said to be the largest in Japan. 😳 The scale of the 1,281 stone Buddhas arranged here is also overwhelming! If you go to Fukui, it's a place worth visiting at least once ☺️ *·̩͙ ☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎ⓘⓝⓕⓞ☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙☽︎︎.*·̩͙ 🕊 Echizen Buddha 📌 50-1-1 Katase, Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture 🚗 10 minutes by car from Katsuyama IC on the Chubu Longitudinal Expressway ⏰ April to December 8:00 to 17:00 January to March 9:00-16:00 💰 Adults: 500 yen, elementary school students: 300 yen 𖥧 𖥧 𖧧 ˒˒𖡼.𖤣𖥧 ⠜ 𖥧 𖥧 𖧧˒˒. ⓣⓗⓐⓝⓚ ⓨⓞⓤ 𖥧 𖥧 𖧧 #Fukui Prefecture #Echizen Great Buddha #trip Domestic travel

Do you know the Echizen Great Buddha? In 1987, Kiyoshi Tada, a businessman from Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture, invested his own money to build the Great Buddha, at a total cost of 38 billion yen. It was originally intended for tourism, but in 2002 it became a religious corporation as a temple of the Myoshinji school of the Rinzai sect of Buddhism. It is not a historical building, but it is 17 meters tall, has a 23 meter halo, and is built on a 2 meter stone base with a 3 meter lotus pedestal, so its total height is 28 meters, which is higher than the Great Buddha of Nara. The 1281 Buddhas of different shapes are enshrined around it, which is a spectacular sight. The building and grounds are beautiful, and despite the vastness of the grounds, it is well-maintained and not a single dead leaf has fallen. It is hard to believe that it once went bankrupt due to financial difficulties. You can also take an elevator to the five-story pagoda and look down on the Katsuyama cityscape while feeling the pleasant breeze. Katsuyama is famous for its dinosaur museum, so why not visit the Great Buddha as well? #100 Travel Style 🕰️Business hours: Normal season 8:00-17:00 (last entry 16:30) Winter season 9:00-16:00 (last entry 15:30) 📍Address: 50-1-1 Katase-cho, Katsuyama-shi, Fukui-ken 911-0811💰Price per person: 500 yen

When you think of Fukui, the Echizen Great Buddha comes to mind. I visited the Echizen Great Buddha, a famous tourist spot in Fukui. Even for someone who doesn't know what Fukui has to offer (like I used to be), this impactful site is one that you've probably seen at least once and have always wanted to visit. Although I had seen it in photos, the sight of over a thousand Buddha statues lined up was truly overwhelming. Located in Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture, it boasts the tallest Great Buddha in Japan, standing at 17 meters, surpassing the height of the Great Buddhas in Nara and Kamakura. Amazing! I really wanted to climb the five-storied pagoda as well, but I didn't have enough time on this trip. Since the impression changes depending on the angle you view it from, I recommend setting aside plenty of time for your visit to the Echizen Great Buddha.

#Travelingwithme Popular photogenic spots in Fukui Rinzai sect Myoshinji school Daishisan Seidaiji Temple Echizen Great Buddha Built by a local businessman in 1987 No, it's not the kind of thing an individual would build! Unfortunately, most of the shops in the temple town are closed, so I was nervous as I walked in... Suddenly, a large gate appeared, and I was surprised It was so impressive! If you go further and enter the main hall, you'll see the Great Buddha and other Buddha statues filling the walls! It's an indescribable feeling of being overwhelmed by the thrill. It's worth seeing at least once. There are stairs to the worship site on the wall opposite the Great Buddha, and if you take a photo from halfway up the stairs, you'll get the same angle as on the cover. The site is larger than I expected, and there is also a huge concrete five-story pagoda. It's a little dark inside (maybe because the weather wasn't good) and a little scary, but the elevator is clean and comfortable, so please go to the top.

A place with a spectacular appearance, everything is bigger than expected, and you'll find yourself gasping when you enter 💡This time we're introducing 👇 "Daishiyama Qingdao Temple and Echizen Great Buddha" There are probably still many people who don't know about it In this post, we'll tell you the following two points! ① Details of Qingdao Temple and Echizen Great Buddha ② Nearby tourist spots [Qingdao Temple and Echizen Great Buddha Details] It's hard to convey the greatness of this place in a photo, so we want you to see it in person and experience its greatness for yourself! ️So, what is the history of such a magnificent temple? In fact, it's a place that seems to have a history, but doesn't have one 😳 It was completed in 1987, which is quite recent 🕰 It's quite young compared to other places in Japan, but the scale is astonishing And the size of the Echizen Great Buddha here is also unexpected! ️While the Great Buddha of Nara is 15m, this one is 17m, which is bigger than the Great Buddha of Nara 😲 It is the largest Buddha in Japan among those that are "enshrined" or "located inside a building" ✨If you have seen the Great Buddha of Nara, you will understand that it was quite impressive, but this one is even bigger!

The five-story pagoda at Toji Temple in Kyoto is famous, but this one is 20m taller than that at 75m 👀This is a place where everything is big! Above all, the most astonishing thing here is that the person who built this temple was not a religious organization, but an individual businessman! ️This temple was built by Kiyoshi Tada, a businessman and founder of Sogo Taxi, from Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture, with his own money. The total construction cost was a whopping 38 billion yen.💰 I can't help but be amazed at the scale of the temple, which is hard to believe was built by a single businessman.

In Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture, I finally visited the long-awaited Echizen Great Buddha. The wall full of Buddha statues is simply breathtaking 🥺🥺 There are over a thousand of them! It was my first time being surrounded by so many Buddha statues. Wrapped in the stillness and the slightly tense atmosphere, my spine naturally straightened. The temple grounds, not just the hall, had an atmosphere that felt like it could be in China, giving me a taste of traveling abroad ✨ Traveling by car to the Echizen Great Buddha was convenient, so I recommend renting a car. There is an admission fee of 500 yen, but it's a very impressive spot worth seeing!

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Fukui Prefecture𓂃 𓈒𓏸Katsuyama City Echizen Daibutsu, Daishisan Seidaiji Temple I've seen the Echizen Daibutsu in photos countless times. When I actually visited, it was a spectacular space... This was built 36 years ago by a major businessman in Katsuyama City, with his own money and a total construction cost of 38 billion yen. The 17m tall Buddha is bigger than the Great Buddha of Nara, and has an overwhelming scale. And there are over 1,000 small Buddhas covering the walls and I was surprised at the variety of types The grounds leading up to the Great Buddha Hall are also wide, and there is the five-story pagoda, the tallest in Japan, the huge gate and the Nio statue over 7m tall...all of them are impressive! The ginkgo trees in the temple grounds are turning yellow, giving you a real autumn feel 🍂 By the way, the Nio statues were made in China and transported by sea 🌊 There are so many amazing things about them...! Lol The weather was bad and it was raining, but that was also charming... The temple grounds were covered, so I was able to worship without getting too wet. On the way from the parking lot to the main gate, there was a quiet temple town with a nostalgic atmosphere. Next time, I'd like to take a walk in the Japanese garden on a sunny day. 🚶𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓐄𓐄𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 From the official website 500 yen From the official website of 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 8:00-17:00 (subject to change in winter) From the official website of 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 50-1-1 Katase, Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄　 #besttrip2023 #wintertrip #Fukui #Fukui Prefecture #Trip to Fukuoka #Temples and Shrines #Visiting Temples and Shrines #Temples
