[Fukui] Everything is off-topic! Introducing breathtakingly grand and solemn temples🔍

A place with a spectacular appearance, everything is bigger than expected, and you'll find yourself gasping when you enter 💡This time we're introducing 👇 "Daishiyama Qingdao Temple and Echizen Great Buddha" There are probably still many people who don't know about it In this post, we'll tell you the following two points! ① Details of Qingdao Temple and Echizen Great Buddha ② Nearby tourist spots [Qingdao Temple and Echizen Great Buddha Details] It's hard to convey the greatness of this place in a photo, so we want you to see it in person and experience its greatness for yourself! ️So, what is the history of such a magnificent temple? In fact, it's a place that seems to have a history, but doesn't have one 😳 It was completed in 1987, which is quite recent 🕰 It's quite young compared to other places in Japan, but the scale is astonishing And the size of the Echizen Great Buddha here is also unexpected! ️While the Great Buddha of Nara is 15m, this one is 17m, which is bigger than the Great Buddha of Nara 😲 It is the largest Buddha in Japan among those that are "enshrined" or "located inside a building" ✨If you have seen the Great Buddha of Nara, you will understand that it was quite impressive, but this one is even bigger! It's amazing! There are many Buddha statues on the walls, but this one is a total of 1,281 stone statues! ️And it's also very impressive! ️It seems to have great benefits...There is another thing here that is the largest in Japan, and that is the five-story pagoda. The five-story pagoda at Toji Temple in Kyoto is famous, but this one is 20m taller than that at 75m 👀This is a place where everything is big! Above all, the most astonishing thing here is that the person who built this temple was not a religious organization, but an individual businessman! ️This temple was built by Kiyoshi Tada, a businessman and founder of Sogo Taxi, from Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture, with his own money. The total construction cost was a whopping 38 billion yen.💰 I can't help but be amazed at the scale of the temple, which is hard to believe was built by a single businessman. Admission fee: 500 yen for adults, 300 yen for children (elementary, junior high, and high school students). Free parking. I hope everyone will experience this for themselves.✨ Access will be described at the end.
