#JapanTravel Visiting the Echizen Daibutsu was an unforgettable experience. Located in Katsuyama, Fukui, this statue is considered one of the largest Buddha statues in Japan, standing at 17 meters tall. As soon as I arrived, I found the area surrounded by natural beauty and charming tranquility. I enjoyed walking through the gardens and exploring the traditional temples around. I participated in several Buddhist rituals, which gave me a deeper understanding of the local culture. At the end of my visit, I bought a souvenir from the gift shop to commemorate this special experience.

A must visit temple in Fukui. Located in Katsuyama. It's near Fukui Dinosaur Museum. They have pamphlets in English so you can read about the temple. Entrance is 500 yen. #Katsuyama #Echizendaibutsu Once inside, marvel at the immense dimensions of the temple and its stunning indoor Buddha statue which is said to be the largest in Japan. The walls inside the temple are lined with over a thousand of smaller statues which adds to its beauty.

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! It's amazing! There are many Buddha statues on the walls, but this one is a total of 1,281 stone statues! ️And it's also very impressive! ️It seems to have great benefits...There is another thing here that is the largest in Japan, and that is the five-story pagoda. 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. Admission fee: 500 yen for adults, 300 yen for children (elementary, junior high, and high school students). Free parking. I hope everyone will experience this for themselves.✨ Access will be described at the end.

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
