Jofuku-ji Temple - Echizen

Beautiful branch cherry blossoms!

The season of cherry blossoms is wonderful

Spring is a famous spot for cherry blossoms. Normally the gate is closed.

why! ! ? ? A temple that is not even known. This temple is amazing! ! what? So, this temple is the only one that is officially the only descendant of the Heike descendant. There are many self-proclaimed descendants of the Heike and legends of the fallen warriors. However, the temple here was the only officially issued order from the victorious Gen Yoritomo after the battle of Genpei, and the ancestors here are famous for the Heike story. A scene where Kiyomori Taira was trying to execute a young Yoritomo, and his stepmother (Ike Zenni) was alive and managed to save his life. Well, because of that, Genori Yoritomo later drives the Heike to the ruin in Tannoura, but keep it aside. After the death of Tannoura, Yoritomo Minamoto (although he should have well known the dangers of keeping his family alive) did not forget the benefits he received as a child, and took the son of Ike Zenni (Hirayorimori) with the formal family of the Shogunate. It was done. Later, his son (Mori Hiraho) became the guardian of Echizen. I think it's quite a treat. I guess I was paying that much. It's very different from my brother's treatment for Yoshitsune. It is said that Hirahomori built a temple and became a family temple of the Heike family that sank in the sea far west. I like the Heike Monogatari and travel to various places, but I think it's as meaningful as Akama Jingu in Shimonoseki, just thinking that the Heike's blood is flowing, and I'm excited It will. By the way, there are stories and legends that are thought to be deceased in various places near this area, and even though it is a great mountainous village, there are places to play in the city, kagura, differences in spoken words, etc. If you are a Heike story fan, I would like you to investigate a bit and find it interesting to come here. Please note that it is not open to the public at this time, and will be contacted by telephone. Later, there are many legends of Emperor Tsutai, so it is recommended! !

It is a temple of the Heike family, and the weeping cherry tree called Hanakugi cherry tree, just behind the gate, is beautiful. There is a charge for the courtyard, but you can enjoy cherry blossoms for free. The parking lot is right in front of the temple entrance.

As I said [Sakura is in full bloom] in TV news, I went to see right away The parking lot is right in front of the temple. It seems to say [Sakura of cherry blossoms] with weeping cherry blossoms of about 60 years of age It was not so big cherry blossom, but somehow it was refined cherry blossom I was shown this year's first cherry blossom bloom in full bloom

2022/04/01 I came here for the first time, but it was well maintained and I was able to see it for free. The wind is a little-known spot with a fragile atmosphere of scattered petals.

Weeping cherry blossoms I often come to see them when they bloom. The plum blossoms that are blooming at the same time are also beautiful. The two shincho flowers have a very nice scent.
