View on Google MapsJust simply beautiful. A day filled with adventures and emotions. We had an extraordinary guide who knew how to make a difference. Thank you very much Mike for this great experience. I highly recommend this tour.
Blown away by this tour! Our tour guide Mike was phenomenal and the tour from start to finish was amazing. We learned so much about the Japanese culture and history and had the opportunity to see one of the most breathtakingly beautiful temples I’ve ever seen. Wonderful experience!
A short walk into the tour, and Mike felt like a friend already! He was knowledgeable and kept us enthralled with his stories, and insights. Zuigenji_fukui temple was an intimate temple and the resident monk there was warm and welcoming; loved the history and stories told by him! Personally, Eiheiji was a personal pilgrimage and we’re thankful for Mike whose insights made it even more memorable for me! Can’t recommend this enough! ありがとございます 🙏

Mike was a great guide! He was considerate of our needs and always respectful. We had just a great time with him, we are signing up for another tour with him the next day. The trip to Fukui and Eiheiji Buddhist Temple was smooth and the experience enriching. We may come back again to see the tree lined walk along the river and the temple in all the glory of the autumn colours. It was a great day well spent.
Despite the rain, this tour was an insightful and enriching experience in Fukui. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing deep historical and cultural insights that brought each location to life. Eiheiji Temple, with its serene atmosphere and stunning Zen architecture, was a highlight, offering a glimpse into the traditions of Soto Zen Buddhism. Walking through Fukui Castle Town was equally fascinating, with well-preserved sites and engaging stories about the region’s samurai past. The guide’s expertise and passion made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended for history and culture enthusiasts!
Mike was the best guide ever! Honestly felt so special to have a small group, there were jokes, there was everything you could want. He was so knowledgeable and I felt like I was with pals the whole time.
Garret was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the specifics of the history and architecture. I learned a lot about being able to tell about original works. And the culture of the temples. He was very helpful and recommended different local foods in the area. 100/10 would recommend.
I was very happy with my earlier tour with Snow Monkey resorts, so I booked this tour in Fukui as well. This tour is one of the few that visits Zuigenji. Although Fukui Castle no longer exists, this temple has a section of the daimyo's original living quarters in the castle from the 1800s. It was really cool to see the various architectural aspects of the building (traditional nail-less Japanese wood binding, reuse of materials, etc.). The intricate artwork and craftsmanship in Eiheiji temple was also incredible to see. The tour guide was very knowledgeable in cultural, historical, and architectural aspects throughout the tour and was very helpful with suggestions of local souvenirs to bring back.
This was an absolutely amazing tour! I went with Garrett and Mike, and they were both funny and insightful. Eiheiji is easily one of the most striking placed I’ve been to in Japan. I recommend this tour!
I took this tour with my 70+ year old mom who has difficulty walking. Garrett was very understanding and we were able to take taxis instead of walking (we paid as we didn’t feel it would be fair to the tour guide). Although mom opted to sit out the walk to Eijeiji, she enjoyed meeting the monk at the smaller shrine and hearing about his experiences. Garrett was very knowledgeable in both subject matter and Japanese language. I would highly recommend this tour.
