Eiheiji Temple in winter / Waterfall "Reiro no Taki"

Although it’s a warm winter this year, we cannot talk about a winter of Hokuriku region without snow. Because of a frigid weather which started last week, it has been cold in Fukui since then.

Moreover, in Fukui city, we just had more than 30cm of snowfall overnight which was causing a lot of troubles for commuters.

 

Meanwhile, I visited Eiheiji Temple to see its snow view.  Anywhere in the temple precincts, I could hear the sound of the water stream from the Eiheiji River.  The river is flowing next to the side of the path leading to the shrine. As we pass the side entrance for visitors to the temple, keep walking further deep, and the sound of the water stream becomes louder.

 

The origin of the sound of the water stream is from "Reiro no Taki" (a waterfall) which is located by the opposite shore of "Jakko En" (a small park which has a few cemeteries).

It is a small waterfall which drops only more than ten meters and the falling water from the vertical steep rock looks quite beautiful.

 

I thought that the winter of water scenery is nice to look at.
