Sacred Shrines and Temples
Fukui's spiritual landscape is anchored by Eihei-ji, a primary training center for Sōtō Zen Buddhism founded in the 13th century. The region's Shinto heritage includes Heisenji Hakusan Shrine, renowned for its moss-covered grounds and historical ties to mountain worship. In Tsuruga, Saifukuji features a nationally designated scenic garden, while Kunigami Shrine in Maruoka preserves the imperial history of Emperor Keitai's lineage.
