Small Shrines at Eiheiji Temple

This photo story is to guide you step-by-step as you explore Eiheiji Temple in Fukui, the Zen temple of 'Eternal Peace'. The second leg of the guide focuses on the small shrines along the walkway leading to the entrance gate. The Eiheiji River, looking more like a stream than a river, runs alongside the approach to the temple. On the riverbank, these small yet pretty shrines have been standing like sentinels of Eiheiji Temple for centuries, adding further serenity to the entire grounds.
