Daily guided walks begin at 6:00 AM along a moss-covered stone path flanked by century-old maple trees, offering serene views before the crowds arrive.

Echizen City Public Tourism Inn partners with Seishō-ji Temple to offer immersive cultural programs including manuscript copying workshops, traditional woodcarving classes, and festival participation events. Workshops use ancient paper and ink preserved by the temple, taught by senior monks who share brush techniques and meditative principles—participants take home their own sacred scrolls as keepsakes. During festivals, guests join lantern processions along the temple’s riverbank, lighting thousands of paper lanterns to create a dreamlike glow. The inn features a dedicated cultural hall displaying rare interior paintings and Buddha rubbings, with limited-access guided tours available.

Reserve via HopeGoo for priority access to these exclusive programs.
