Katsuyama: Heisenji Hakusan Shrine and Echizen Great Buddha - A Moss and History Walk

An elegant all-day course for adults to slowly savor moss and history in Katsuyama, which prospered as a center of Hakusan faith. The grounds of Heisenji Hakusan Shrine (平泉寺白山神社), enveloped in moss, are breathtakingly beautiful when combined with the stone-paved paths through the cedar woods. After previewing the medieval religious city at the guidance facility Mahoroba, walking through the quiet grounds becomes far more eloquent. In the afternoon, experience the impressive Echizen Great Buddha and Yume-Ore Katsuyama, which preserves Meiji-era weaving mills, to conclude your journey through Katsuyama's history.
