Fukui which faces Sea of Japan and is located in the base in Hakusan is dotted with the superb view spot abundant nature interweaves and the landmark from which long history and tradition are inherited here and there. I'll introduce basic tourist attraction where you can go from Ishikawa Prefecture Kaga city to the dinosaur museum an adult as well as a child can enjoy, too in about one hour to Tojinbo where Tsutomu Osako's cliff cliff draws near.

Headquarters of Soto Zen Buddhism which was opened by Dogen reverend in 1244 (1244) in Eiheiji-cho spread in the east of Fukui-shi district. An ascetic monk as much as about 150 people gathers round and is applying himself to severe study from the whole country even at present. It's a hall and a lofty building in about 70 ridge in a precinct in about 10 mantsubo circled by the deep green mountains. The main building where a priest trains himself soon is called Shichido-garan (by SHICHIDOU, orchid), and it's said that the arrangement tied at a corridor is modeled on the form of the Zen meditation. Then the "Michelin green guide snake pong" issued in France gets two stars, domestic and abroad, attention is attracted.

The ceiling painting which drew beauties of nature is highlight a lot.

The picture ceiling of "umbrella Shoukaku (Japanese pepper edge)" is must-see Photograph offer: Eihei-ji of headquarters.

When walking the approach to Shrine circled by an old cedar of an age of the tree for about 700 years, a back seems to develop directly in the air made dignified. From "Kissho kaku" where Zen meditation Experience and sutras transcribing Experience can also go and worship (Kichi quire edge). Then "umbrella Shoukaku" in whom a picture of 230 was embedded is overwhelmed by solemn beauty in the ceiling. When a picture of 2 of carp, 2 lions and 1 squirrel (squirrel) is found soon, it's said that a wish comes true.
Additionally "big wooden pestle stick" as much as the full length 4m in the ascetic monk's kitchen "Okura in (I go, I'm not here.)", a highlight is a lot. About 1 hour will go around calmly slowly.

Tenshu which exists only in Hokuriku area

The Maruoka castle by which you assume that Shibata Katsuie made Yutaka Katsu of my nephew (TOYO which overcomes) build as equipment of a riot completely by Oda Nobunaga's life is national designation important cultural property. The fantastic form that Tenshu floats in the full-blown cherry tree can think as an another name of "haze KE castle (by dimness, quire)", spring comes. It's from Tenshu of the third floor of two-layer where I have no solid stone walls of the rock face finish accumulation on which a natural stone was piled up (NOZURAZUMI) and letting pillars as the watchtower (prevention wax) type, it's a style of building of the oldest order even in existence Tenshu where I have 12 castles. When I go up the big stone steps made a stone wall, it can be visited in the castle.

I go up steep stairs and look a castle town around from a watchtower.

It's also the feature to endure heavy snowfall, that a heavy stone tile is being covered. It's lit up in the evening.

A roof seems for redundancy on the 2nd floor from the outward appearance, the interior is 3 story of structure. It's possible to see equipment to the enemy such as stone drop and a loophole (the condition) who drops a stone and shoots a gun and a bow in everywhere. The elaborate diorama which restored a castle is also exhibited on the 1st floor. Stairs are the steepness for which it's difficult to be attacked by an enemy, and I go up and depend on a rope, and it's to a loft. Highly, a watchtower of the top floor feels the country landscape of the calm streets in Maruoka and Sakai plains is wide from Yomo's window with about 35 m from the base.

I walk a castle town trace in the warlike ages called small Kyoto in Hokuriku area.

Such as using found stone wall and corner stone, it's restored faithfully based on unearthed relics.

"Ichijodani" where it's in the southeast at about 10 km of place from Fukui station is the castle town trace of a warring lord and Mr. Asakura where Godai ruled a country in Echizen (present,* Fukui ) for 103 years. I bet remains in a castle town which is called "small Kyoto in Hokuriku area" and prospers for more than 50 years from 1967 (1967) and find by the perfect shape mostly. A Samurai residence, a cathedral and a craftsman residence are restored excellently. It's the valuable spot which received the national threefold designation which has only no 6 points nationwide (important cultural property, special historic spot and special place of scenic beauty) as well as "Kinkaku-ji" and Hiroshima's "Itsukushima Shrine" etc. of Kyoto.

I take a walk through the Chinese gate where prosperity in at that time is remembered and a house mark garden.

I take a rest at a rest place near the south side entrance of "restoration streets". Matcha Green Tea (with snack), 400 yen

When walking "restoration streets" and looking stealthily at a house in the midst of the busy town and a store, you can peep at life culture in at that time. If expectation is driven in warlike ages, I'll rest at a rest place. I can receive the Matcha Green Tea offered with a bowl of "Echizen baking" and the Confections on which a brand of a family crest of Asakura family was stamped.
There is a symbol Chinese gate in remains (empty gate) on the opposite side around a road. You're telling that Toyotomi family donated removing and reconstruction at a front gate in the temple where Mr. Asakura holds a memorial service for botsutsumi in Godai gikei "Shouun in". The oldest bathroom mark (behind YUDO) garden is 4 gardens at Ichijodani in gikeikanato and a hill ahead of the Karamon Gate. The huge violent landscape using Yamaishi is magnificent.

The artistic cliff cliff nature made

The beauty spot place designated as national place of scenic beauty and natural monument
The beauty spot place designated as national place of scenic beauty and natural monument

That about 1 km of cliff cliff shaved violently also continues, and I hold my breath unconsciously in a superb view like natural art. A magma intruded this cliff by a volcanic activity about 13,000,000 years ago, and chilly and stable volcanic rocks received erosion by a wave, and appeared in the surface of the earth. When hardening, unusually, it's said that 3 magmas don't also lay that a pillar-like crack of the pentagon you could have and hexagonal-shaped is seen much out in the world as well as Norwegian west coast and Kongo-san in Korean Peninsula like geology. The height of the quay, in more than 25 m and, the scenery a raging wave in Sea of Japan washes is force perfection.

The sightseeing boat which can look at Tojinbo of Tsutomu Osako from a sea.

"Oshima" biggest at Echizen coast

The scenery of Tojinbo and Sea of Japan can be looked around 180 times from a square of a stone pavement. An esplanade is also maintained and under the red bridge's where the sunset in which I sink on the rock spans "Oshima" and Oshima which float on a strangely shaped rock of the "candle rock" etc. which seems to be a flame of a candle and the offing getting a bird's-eye view. It's possible to be coming down to Senjojiki where flat rocky stretch spreads.
It's also recommended to take a sightseeing sightseeing boat and look at Tojinbo from a sea again. A cruising for about 30 minutes when I wish for "Oike", "lion rock" and "bee Noss rock" etc. in a cliff cliff where I tower from surface of the sea imminently can be enjoyed.

An ancestor and Rennyo saint of Jodo-Shinshu restoration (Can, NYO, they shoulder, oh.) are Echizen Yoshizaki in whom it's located in a border between prefectures of Fukui and Ishikawa that missionary work in Hokuriku area was based for 1457 years (in 1471). You're telling to have bustled with a lot of worshippers when a foundation of a Japanese biggest religious society was built in only several years. Kaga which completed the "farmer's durability barrel country" where even the world also comes in nearly 100 when I have no examples again is also a sending place by the riot completely.
An image of a landlord of a Japanese sculpture and a big Rennyo saint by Koun Takamura towers over Yoshizaki school mark in the square which was provided Yoshizaki mountain where you circled three sides in tideland with.

Stage of the Buddhism and a story of a wife mother-in-law "wife threat legend"

The side of the real thing which comes out in a folk tale of Fukui "wife threat legend" is inspected.

I'll come to wish Keiji who leaves for the base in Yoshizaki mountain by all means, too. This is also a stage of a feud story of the wife mother-in-law from whom even puppet ballad drama and kabuki are learned about "wife threat legend". "Yomeodoshi nikufumen" which appears on a story (it's rather good, the noodles which are wearing of shoes to threaten) can see the side of the fearful expression which has been kept and has not come off a face any more actually. Generation after generation is transmitted from approximately 800 years before, the trace where gold foil was done faces and is also seen formerly. It's also some interesting time to ask a chief priest about the account which concerns a legend and Yoshizaki's history.
