The reddish-brown hot spring contains a lot of iron and is also known as "hot water" because it warms you up quickly and keeps you warm for a long time.

The name "Furo Fushi Onsen" is said to come from the idea that if you take care of yourself here, you will never grow old or become weak. Another nice thing about this onsen is that you can enjoy the hot springs while praying for the health of your parents.

All guest rooms have an ocean view, so you can see the Sea of Japan dyed in the sunset from your room.

A spectacular sight worth the trip. Why not give the gift of a thrill that can only be experienced here?

[Fukui Prefecture] Eiheiji Zen Inn Hakujukan | A place to get close to Zen and heal your soul

Eiheiji Zen Inn Hakujukan is a new style of lodging facility that is based on the concept of being "a facility that is halfway between a ryokan and a temple lodging." It is a temple lodging facility, but it also offers the same kind of accommodation as a ryokan. It is recommended for those who want to kill two birds with one stone by experiencing the spirit of Zen while staying overnight.

The Zen experience starts with morning services, followed by zazen, copying sutras, etc. The "fragrant bath," where you purify yourself in highly fragrant water boiled with fragrant wood, is a valuable experience that cannot be found at other facilities.

Vegetarian cuisine, which uses all ingredients without wasting any, is also a part of the Zen experience. You can enjoy dishes that are visually gorgeous and made with care to evoke the spirit of Zen.

If you want to fully enjoy the flavors of Fukui, you can also change to Japanese cuisine, in which meat and fish are prepared using shojin ryori techniques (please contact us when making a reservation).

By the time you return home, your mind and body will be completely lightened.
