Heldagstur Eiheiji Buddhist Temple og Fukui City Castle Town
Beskrivelse
Fukui, som ofte overses, når rejsende begiver sig langs det japanske hav, er endnu et af Japans præfekturer, der har lige så meget historie og naturlig skønhed som alle andre. Som indgangen til Hokuriku-regionen har Fukui tjent som en korsvej for mange vigtige krige og handelsruter gennem japansk historie. Denne tur vil få dig til at gå forbi slottet og også et tempel, hvor bygninger fra det tidligere slot blev flyttet, få en fantastisk udsigt over den moderne byskyline fra en bakke med over tusind års historie og dykke ned i et af hovedtemplerne i Zen Buddhisme i idylliske bjergomgivelser. Lad os dykke dybt ind i det mindre berejste område af Japan, der giver dig lyst til at vende tilbage til Fukui for mere.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Start din tur på Kanazawa Station, hvor din guide vil hilse på dig for at begynde turen. Mødestedet vil være uden for Shinkansen-billetporten foran informationscentrets skilte. Så sætter vi os på toget til Fukui. Ankom til Fukui Station og start turen ved at gå rundt på stationen for at finde alle de interessante dinosaurstatuer og kunst. Vi tager derefter afsted for at se slottets mure og bro, inden vi stopper ved "regnbue"-helligdommen. Vi sætter os på bussen og tager til en anden side af byen, hvor vi vil se et daimyos værelse omdannet tempel, en historie med bakkeudsigt, der strækker sig tilbage over et årtusinde, og den bedste udsigt over byens skyline.
Til den næste del af turen går vi til borgruinerne med de store mure og voldgraven og endnu mere usædvanligt præfekturkontoret og politihovedkvarteret indeni. Væggene er originale til konstruktionen, men der er også en bro, der trofast gengiver, hvordan den så ud i Edo-perioden. Der var ikke et ophold i mange år, så i stedet blev portene omkring slottet forstærket til at fungere som den sidste forsvarslinje, hvilket gjorde det unikt blandt slotte i Japan. En kort gåtur væk fra slottet ligger en helligdom, der for nylig er blevet populær på grund af origami-kranerne, der hænger ved indgangen. Det er et slående billede, der giver håb om en bedre fremtid. Efter helligdommen er en gåtur og en kort bustur til en lidt anden del af byen.
Det sidste stop før frokost er Atagozaka eller Atago Slope. Dette er en række trapper, der fører op til toppen af en stor række af bakker. En af de ældste helligdomme i alle præfekturerne hviler også heroppe, er sandsynligvis den bedste udsigt over Fukui Citys moderne skyline. De helt nye bygninger mod bjergene i baggrunden er virkelig smukke. Når vi kommer ned fra udsigtspunktet, går vi mod Katamachi-området nær stationen, hvor du vil have tid til frokost. Spørg gerne din guide om anbefalinger. De lokale specialiteter i Fukui City er Echizen soba og katsu (stegt portvinkotelet).
Det er tid til frokost! Spørg gerne din guide om anbefalinger til lokale Fukui-specialiteter. Efter frokost mødes tilbage på Fukui Station og stig på den direkte bus til Eiheiji. Ankom til Eiheiji, et af Zen-buddhismens hovedtempler, og opdag den surrealistiske blanding af japansk traditionel arkitektur med et naturligt miljø, der er lige så smukt. Vi vil have chancen for at gå rundt i templet, og du kan lære om historien og vigtigheden af denne buddhistiske sekt og dette tempel i særdeleshed. Du vil også have lidt tid til at udforske i dit eget tempo. Efter at have fået en smagsprøve på Zen i sit japanske hjemland, tager vi tilbage til bylivets stress og jag. At komme på en direkte bus tilbage til Fukui Station vil tage knap 30 minutter, hvor vi efterlader vores venner, der bliver i Fukui, og så skulle toget til Kanazawa bringe os hjem inden kl. 18.00.

Superb guide who was well-prepared and informed. He took very good care of the group and was open to all questions.
Michael is knowledgable; attentive and made de day easy going, In fact very well organized. No delay at all. He had all answers to our questions. Fukui is great place to visit however half a day is a little too much. Eiheijii: half a day is perfect.
Just simply beautiful. A day filled with adventures and emotions. We had an extraordinary guide who knew how to make a difference. Thank you very much Mike for this great experience. I highly recommend this tour.
Blown away by this tour! Our tour guide Mike was phenomenal and the tour from start to finish was amazing. We learned so much about the Japanese culture and history and had the opportunity to see one of the most breathtakingly beautiful temples I’ve ever seen. Wonderful experience!
A short walk into the tour, and Mike felt like a friend already! He was knowledgeable and kept us enthralled with his stories, and insights. Zuigenji_fukui temple was an intimate temple and the resident monk there was warm and welcoming; loved the history and stories told by him! Personally, Eiheiji was a personal pilgrimage and we’re thankful for Mike whose insights made it even more memorable for me! Can’t recommend this enough! ありがとございます 🙏
Mike was a great guide! He was considerate of our needs and always respectful. We had just a great time with him, we are signing up for another tour with him the next day. The trip to Fukui and Eiheiji Buddhist Temple was smooth and the experience enriching. We may come back again to see the tree lined walk along the river and the temple in all the glory of the autumn colours. It was a great day well spent.
Despite the rain, this tour was an insightful and enriching experience in Fukui. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing deep historical and cultural insights that brought each location to life. Eiheiji Temple, with its serene atmosphere and stunning Zen architecture, was a highlight, offering a glimpse into the traditions of Soto Zen Buddhism. Walking through Fukui Castle Town was equally fascinating, with well-preserved sites and engaging stories about the region’s samurai past. The guide’s expertise and passion made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended for history and culture enthusiasts!
Mike was the best guide ever! Honestly felt so special to have a small group, there were jokes, there was everything you could want. He was so knowledgeable and I felt like I was with pals the whole time.
Garret was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the specifics of the history and architecture. I learned a lot about being able to tell about original works. And the culture of the temples. He was very helpful and recommended different local foods in the area. 100/10 would recommend.
Dear Haley, Thank you so much for the great review and 5-star rating! We are so glad Garrett's knowledge and passion about Fukui enhanced your experience. We hope to see you again! Snow Monkey Resorts
I was very happy with my earlier tour with Snow Monkey resorts, so I booked this tour in Fukui as well. This tour is one of the few that visits Zuigenji. Although Fukui Castle no longer exists, this temple has a section of the daimyo's original living quarters in the castle from the 1800s. It was really cool to see the various architectural aspects of the building (traditional nail-less Japanese wood binding, reuse of materials, etc.). The intricate artwork and craftsmanship in Eiheiji temple was also incredible to see. The tour guide was very knowledgeable in cultural, historical, and architectural aspects throughout the tour and was very helpful with suggestions of local souvenirs to bring back.
Dear John, Thank you for booking multiple tours with us! We are pleased to know that you could experience the wonderful cultural, historical, and architectural aspects Fukui has to offer. Your pictures are fantastic and capture the area so well. We appreciate your time and support to review us, and we hope to see you again! Snow Monkey Resorts
