📍Murasaki Shikibu Park

"Echizen City is the place where Murasaki Shikibu, the author of The Tale of Genji, lived away from the capital only once in her life. It is said that she visited there with her father, Fujiwara Tametoki, who became the governor of Echizen Province, and spent over a year there. Murasaki Shikibu Park, created to commemorate this, is a rare Shinden-style garden in Japan, and was created based on precise historical research, allowing you to experience the elegant world depicted in Heian picture scrolls in real size." So. This is Murasaki Shikibu Park because it is a place that Murasaki Shikibu visited. There was also a statue and a monument to her poem 👩🏻 Light-ups are held at night until October 21st 💡 I'm sure it's beautiful at night too 💭 . . . 📍Murasaki Shikibu Park 🗺️Fukui, Japan 🕑 - 💰 - #FuriTabi #FukuiTrip #DomesticTrip
