Koyomi Hall
Fukui Prefecture Obama Area
Koyomi (or Calendar) Hall was founded by the Tsuchimikado family, who were descendants of Abe no Seimei, the famous Ying and Yang master. At one point in the family's history, the Tsuchimikados moved to Natasho, and there founded a training ground for the study of the astronomical calendar.
