I have to write down, before I forget the details... (^_^;;;

Taking a bus for about two hours from the Eihei-ji temple, we can reach Toujinbou. This time I bought a discount ticket "Toujinbou Eihei-ji temple 2 days' free ticket". In Japan most free tickets are discount ones; not free (^_^;;; It cost 2000 yen for an adult. Anyway we can ride any local buses running at
Fukui station <=> Eihei-ji temple <=> JR Ashihara Onsen station <=> Toujinbou
for two days (between 9:00 and 17:00). And some coupon for some stores etc. are also included. I bought this and saved some money, but I had to be on trains and buses for most part of this day (^_^;;;

After arriving at Toujinbou, I hurried to the coast, not beach but cliff!







The waves are like this:
Movie 1

Cabin cruisers are running between here and Ojima, small island located at the cape (third picture).



But this time was just after a strong Typhoon, and the cruisers departed from a place more than 1 km away, so I gave up to ride.

Near the cruiser stop (?) which was not used this day:
Movie 2

There is a tower here, 'Toujinbou tower'.



But I also gave it up, because I felt enough after I saw the cliff and the sea.

FYI: The coupon of the discount bus ticket contains those for cabin cruisers and tower entrance.

Here I cannot upload more than 5 pictures in an article. More detailed explanations can be found here. (Sorry, but Japanese only.)

The trip will continue!
