    Eihei-ji Temple, located in Eiheiji-machi, Fukui Prefecture, is the main temple of the Soto Zen sect of Japan. Founded by Zen Master Dogen in 1244, it boasts a history of over 700 years, dating back to the Song Dynasty in China. As a major Zen temple in Japan, Eihei-ji Temple is renowned for its rigorous practice and solemn atmosphere, a stark contrast to the more relaxed Japanese Buddhism of today. Eihei-ji Temple's precepts are quite strict: monks must be vegetarian, refrain from conversation during meals, and clean up after meals. There are also strict rules for daily routines and meditation. Eihei-ji Temple even had a profound influence on Zen practice, reportedly planning to become a monk at Eihei-ji Temple. This demonstrates the temple's profound status and spiritual power within Zen Buddhism. Eihei-ji Temple itself is a typical mountain temple, built into the hillside. Long wooden corridors connect the main halls, leading from the foot of the mountain to the main hall at the summit. After changing into the slippers provided by the temple, visitors can wander along this quiet wooden path, often passing by practicing monks and experiencing the secluded Zen atmosphere.
