- Fukui Pref. Fukuishi Tanotanichou 21-4
- All the temple buildings including the main hall were designated as National Important Cultural Properties in 2008. This temple is famous for its vegetarian cuisine using seasonal ingredients such as wild and farmed vegetables, seaweed and grains. Reservations are accepted for groups of 10 or more and it is possible to combine a meal with courses in zazen (seated meditation) and shakyo (sutra copying), for example. This temple, where you can sightsee, participate and eat, is also the 10th stop for collecting amulets on the Hokuriku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.

I found zazen to be more demanding than I expected as I used to be able to sit cross-legged comfortably when I was younger. Unfortunately, time marches on and, even though chairs can be provided, I...

- A temple of the Tendai Sect Shinsei School of Buddhism. It was once the Asakura family temple and located in Jiromaru, Fukui City but the Asakura family collapsed after Oda Nobunaga invaded Echizen. It was moved to its current location by Shibata Katsuie who took control of the region after them. After this it was carefully protected as his family's temple. On the temple grounds you'll find the grave of Shibata Katsuie as well as a stone monument dedicated to his wife, Oichi. Various belongings for both the Asakura family and Shibata family are stored within the temple's treasure hall.

柴田勝家とお市の方の墓所があります。宗派は天台真盛宗とあり、延徳年間の朝倉貞景の発願と門柱にしっかりと記されています。訪れたときは地域の子どもたちが堂内で何かの練習をしていました。地域との密着性も高いお寺ですね。柴田勝家公資料館という建物も敷地の中に建っています。

An interesting little temple on the corner, by a busy main road, a little out of the way from Fukui station. The main attraction is the large Buddha statue on the roof, although it is not near the...

1473年、朝倉敏景によって一乗谷に創建され、足利義昭将軍が一乗谷を訪れた際は御所とされた由緒ある浄土宗の寺院です。その後、柴田勝家が愛宕坂の登り口の現在地に移転しました。境内のふれ愛観音堂を参拝しましたが、西村公朝仏師によって目の不自由な人にも触れて観音様の慈悲が伝わるようにという願いを込めてつくられた仏像が安置されています。ふっくらとしたお顔で優しさが伝わってきます。

創建年代は不詳ですが、法華宗本門流の寺院です。ちなみに日法華宗本門流とは日蓮を宗祖とし、日隆を派祖とする、日蓮門下の一派です。芭蕉宿泊地・洞哉宅跡の解説に出てくる「枕がなく、幸い近くの寺院でお堂を建てていたので、ころあいの良い木片をもらってきて芭蕉の枕とした」という話があります。近くの寺院でお堂を建てていたのが顕本寺だと伝わっています。

橋本左内先生菩提寺と書かれた幟が立つ寺院が左内公園のそばにあり、立ち寄って見ました。寺院に向かって左手の門柱には善慶寺橋本左内先生菩提寺と書かれ、右手の門柱には妙経寺と書かれていました。調べてみると左内の菩提寺は善慶寺で左内公園の地にあったそうですが、空襲によって焼失し、妙経寺に併合されたそうです。

Fukui Areas
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.
