Silent Path to Eiheiji Temple

Eiheiji Guide 01: Tranquil walk to the first gate

Takako Sakamoto   - 1分钟阅读时间

This photo story is to guide you step-by-step as you explore Eiheiji Temple in Fukui, the Zen temple of 'Eternal Peace'. The first leg starts at the first gate of the temple's entrance, and the long approach in-between. Once you step through the first gate, you'll be surrounded by the spirit of a silent forest.
