[Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture] A fantastical world unfolds ☁️

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Fukui𓂃 𓈒𓏸Katsuyama City Daishizan Seidaiji Temple Echizen Daibutsu About 40 years ago, a big businessman in Katsuyama City invested his own money to build this, at a total cost of 38 billion yen. Of course, the impressive 17m-tall Buddha and over 1,000 small Buddhas are worth seeing, but the special viewing of the sea of ​​clouds, which is limited to twice a day, is the best! I stayed the night before in Katsuyama just to see this 😂 lol The artificial sea of ​​clouds creates a spectacular view like a "fairyland" By the way, the Buddha here is bigger than the Great Buddha of Nara, and has an overwhelming scale. The grounds leading up to the Great Buddha Hall are spacious, including a Japanese garden with swimming koi fish, the tallest five-story pagoda in Japan offering a panoramic view of the town of Katsuyama, a gigantic gate and a Nio statue over 7m tall...all of which are impressive! In autumn, the ginkgo trees in the temple grounds turn yellow and show a different side to the temple🍂 By the way, the Nio statues were made in China and transported by sea🌊 On the way from the parking lot to the main gate, there is a quiet temple town, and I like the view of the five-story pagoda from there *The date for the 2025 event has not yet been decided𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓐄𓐄𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 From the official website 1000 yen (special viewing) 500 yen (normal) 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 #tripdomestictravel #katsuyamacity #fukui #fukuitrip
