    With its surroundings referred to as “Rennyo no Sato”, the Yoshizaki Gobo Temple Remains have a tradition of being selected as a missionary base in Hokuriku by Rennyo Shonin, restorer of the Hongan-ji Jodo Shinshu sect of Buddhism. It is still visited by many today. Its largest festival—the “Rennyoki” (anniversary of Rennyo’s death)—is held every year from late April to May.

Fukui Areas

around-area-map

Northeast of Kyoto, the ancient Tojinbo Cliffs separate Fukui prefecture from the Sea of Japan in a stretch of land well worth exploring. Water sports and seaside delicacies are available in abundance as the spectacular rugged coastline flattens down into beaches to the west of the prefecture, while inland, Fukui is home to Zen Buddhist temples and historic ruins.
