| Video Discription | Eiheiji is a large temple complex and active monastery standing on a cedar-covered slope in the mountains just outside Fukui City. The temple was founded in 1244 by Dogen, the Buddhist scholar who introduced Soto Zen from China to Japan in 1228. Eiheiji is one of two head temples of the Soto Sect of Zen Buddhism. The sizable temple complex consists of over 70 buildings, which are connected to each other by covered walkways that protect from the heavy snow seen in the region from December to March. The warmer months bring lush vegetation to the temple grounds, which are especially beautiful from late October to early November when the autumn colors typically peak. Maruoka Castle is one of just twelve castles remaining in Japan that have survived the post feudal ages with their castle keeps intact. The relatively small, 3-story keep was considered by some to be the oldest in the country, but recent studies have revealed that this is not the case, dating the keep's construction to the early 1600s. The castle is also known by the nickname "mist castle" which comes from a legend about thick mist hiding the fortification from approaching enemies. |
