Zuigenji Temple

This family temple was built for the former feudal lord of the Fukui Domain, Yoshinori Matsudaira, and his mother, Koshoin. The main hall and the Shoin building were relocated from Fukui Castle’s inner citadel. They are the only existing remains of the castle and are now prefecturaly Designated Important Cultural Property. It is also known as the Temple of Hagi, so every September, people visit to see the Japanese clover in full bloom.
