What is Echizen Daibutsu Premium Plan?

This is a premium plan that includes special services for the "Sea of ​​Clouds Special Viewing" that will be held at the Echizen Daibutsu of Daishiyama Seidaiji Temple Temple from October 2023.

In the special sea of ​​clouds viewing, you just enjoyed the artificial sea of ​​clouds, but with this plan, you can enjoy a kimono dressing service, take photos, and enjoy a special dinner that can only be enjoyed with this plan.

Recommended point 1: Special viewing of the sea of ​​clouds

This is a special performance using an artificial sea of ​​clouds that takes place from April to November at Daishiyama Seidaiji Temple Echizen Daibutsu, which is home to Japan's tallest Great Buddha statue. When you pass through the gate of the temple grounds, a sea of ​​clouds covers the area in front of the Great Buddha Hall, creating a fantastical space.

Recommended point ② Yukata dressing experience

This plan includes a yukata dressing service. We have yukata for men and women, so please choose the one that suits your favorite pattern and body size. Before visiting Echizen Daibutsu, you will be dressed by a professional.

Recommended point 3: Photography service

As you stroll around the grounds of Echizen Daibutsu, a professional photographer will accompany you and take photos for you. Let's take photos that will become memories of your trip in front of Japan's largest Buddha statue, amidst a magical sea of ​​clouds, and at the stone Buddha wall, which is a popular photo spot.

The photos we took will be presented to you at a later date.
