Fukui and Hokuriku Culture for "Eternity"

A facility opened by Ishidaya Nizaemon, which owns Kokuryu Sake Brewing, as a "place to convey the culture of Hokuriku centered on Fukui with sake as the core." ESHI means "good" in an old word, ESHIKOTO means "good thing," and including the reverse reading of Tokoshie (eternity), it means "good thing that lasts forever." The facility, which abundantly uses natural materials from Fukui such as Shakudani stone and Miyama cedar, has exceptional comfort. In November 2024, the auberge "Kanshukuen ESHIKOTO" opened. It will broadcast the charm of Fukui, including food, hot springs, and accommodation.
