Fukui lies along the Sea of Japan, not far from Osaka or Kyoto. With the ocean to the west and beautiful snow-capped mountains to the east, Fukui enjoys splendid scenery year-round. 
 
This tour takes you to Fukui and visit Eiheiji Temple. One of the largest temple in Japan and head of the Soto sect of Zen Buddhism, Eiheiji Temple is known as the "temple of eternal peace" and is located in the wood-covered mountains not far from Fukui City.  
 
This education and training center for Zen monks was founded by Zen Master Dogen Zenji about 750 years ago in the Kangen Period, in 1244. More than 70 large and small structures are still standing, with seven main buildings at the center of the temple is surrounded by trees some of which are said to be about 680 years old. The stillness and quietness of the temple makes it an ideal and perfect place for trainee monks. 
 
Afterwards, you will visit Tojinbo. Part of the Echizen Kaga Coastline Quasi National Park, Tojinbo is a fifty- foot-high cliff of unusually shaped pentagonal and hexagonal rock columns that extends for about one kilometer. Created by a volcanic eruption 130 million years ago and further shaped by the repeated crashing of waves, Tojinbo is one of the world's rare large-scale columnar joint formations  in the world.
