Echizen Town travel guide and discussion

📍 Kani Kanitei Main Branch, Fukui A recommended restaurant where you can eat exquisite seafood dishes♡ The restaurant has a stylish and luxurious atmosphere🫣The sashimi platter includes about 10 types of fresh sashimi, all of which are really delicious, so you can't go wrong by ordering this😋 If you add a rice set, you can have as much rice and miso soup as you want🍚 And my top recommendation is the "Gama shrimp sashimi". Gama shrimp (Echizen shrimp) are said to be a mythical shrimp, and are even sweeter than sweet shrimp and are super delicious🦐🤍🤍 1,800 yen for 14 shrimp is an incredible deal🤣🤣🤣💛💛 I wonder if I could double it? It's so good that I think!! Apparently, the fishing season for Gama shrimp is suspended in July and August, and they are frozen, so if you go by June or from September, you can get fresh shrimp caught that day 🦐 I went just before the deadline on June 30th, so I was told I was lucky 💛 I plan to go back to this restaurant again to eat these shrimp 😘 I also want to eat crab, so maybe next time will be in winter 🦀 Add some excitement to your daily life: 🌙 　📍 Kani Kanitei Main Branch, Fukui 📮 62-27 Umeura, Echizen-cho, Nyu-gun, Fukui Prefecture 🕚 11:00-17:00 #Traveling with Me #Fukui Gourmet #Fukui Tourism #Fukui Trip #Fukui #Gourmet

This location is very popular for a driving course that offers great views of the incredible rocky cliffs, beaches draw many visitors from other prefectures for swimming. The best place to appreciate it is Echizen Cape Observation Deck. This deck is located on the top of the hill which faces Echizen Beach. This is also a popular destination for the beautiful views of the many daffodils that grow there. Climb the hill a bit and you’ll find a walking path with an incredible view of fields of Echizen daffodils. It is less touristry which made the place quiet and calm. Its a good opportunity to relax and unwind here and I felt being rewarded by the refreshing view of the green hill and the clear blue water of Japan Sea. It was just wonderful! #givethanks #givethanks

Kochomon, located in Echizen Town, Fukui Prefecture, is a gigantic sea cave carved out over many years by the rough waves of the Sea of ​​Japan. The arch-shaped rock formations carved by nature tower like a gate, making it a popular scenic spot known for its power and beauty. A road once ran through the cave, but it is now closed to traffic and has been developed into a promenade. Walking through the cave, the sound of the waves crashing against the rock surface reverberates, making you feel as if you've been sucked into nature. From the observation deck, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the dynamic scenery created by the blue waters of the Sea of ​​Japan and the strangely shaped rock formations. At dusk, the Kochomon Gate shines golden in the setting sun, making for an especially photogenic spot. It's also a popular stop-off point during drives, where you can also enjoy local seafood at the adjacent roadside station. 📌 Useful Information Address: Umeura, Echizen-cho, Nyu-gun, Fukui Prefecture, 916-0311 Access: Approximately 50 minutes by car from Tsuruga IC on the Hokuriku Expressway / Approximately 40 minutes from Takefu IC Parking: Available (Free) Admission Fee: Free Duration: Approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour Recommended Season: Year-round (especially on clear days and in the evening) Kidorimon Gate, a work of art on the Echizen Coast born from the power of nature.

#cityplaybook Fukui is a hidden gem where coastal beauty and historical charm come together. Whether you’re into scenic walks or cultural exploration, this quiet corner of Japan has plenty to offer. I started the day at Hokojima, a small island known for its peaceful vibes and incredible ocean views. Watching the waves crash against the rocks felt like a mini reset. Next up was the stunning Echizen-kaigan Coast. The rugged shoreline, shaped by time and wind, offers breathtaking landscapes perfect for a slow stroll or some quiet reflection. To wrap up the day, I explored the Fukui Castle Ruins. Though only parts of the original castle remain, the stone walls and moat still tell stories of the past—and the view from the top is lovely. Why I recommend Fukui: ・It’s a perfect blend of natural beauty and historical sites ・Peaceful, uncrowded, and ideal for a relaxing day trip 📍Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan #FukuiTrip #HiddenJapan #NatureAndHistory #EchizenCoast #FukuiCastle #OffTheBeatenPath #CityPlaybook #ExploreJapan

#DomesticTravelRecord I wanted to eat crab at the end of the year, so I went to Echizen in Fukui Prefecture to eat crab. I went for the first time last year, and it was so delicious that I went again this year. The Echizen crab tag adds a touch of luxury, and the meat and roe from the fine crab are amazing. The crab miso, white rice, and miso soup that I had at the end were the perfect combination. Apart from the crab, the sashimi, fried food, and seiko crab were all delicious. Because it was in the Hokuriku region, we were able to see snow, so it really felt like winter.

#0yentripnovember Ryori Ryokan Heisei Breakfast and dinner are included in a warm seafood restaurant overlooking the sea. There is a spacious lounge and barbecue area, as well as a natural hot spring bath with an ocean view. The crab is delicious and you can eat a lot of it.

Located in Echizen-cho, Nibu-gun. Opened on July 15, 2000. In the museum, you can learn about the entire ecology of the "Echizen crab", watch three-dimensional images that reproduce the conditions in the sea, and of course, you can also taste delicious crabs in the attached restaurant. The most famous crab here is the red crab. We visited the Echizen Crab Museum, which introduced which waters can be used to catch crabs. There is also a simulation game on how to catch crabs, which is suitable for a family visit. The exterior of the museum is themed on the "Echizen crab". The dome of the three-story building in the middle is a crab shell, and the two-story square buildings on both sides symbolize crab legs. In the dome building, the third floor is set as land, the second floor is at a depth of 100 meters, the middle two floors are at a depth of 200 meters, and the first floor is at a depth of 300 meters on the seabed. The visiting order is from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor. It is highly recommended, especially if you like crabs, the price is very cheap.

Located in the central part of Japan, the Echizen Coast of Fukui Prefecture is lined with many daffodils standing tall. During the snowy winter season, it is the flowering period for the white daffodils, earning Fukui the nickname 'The Land of Daffodils'. The daffodil seascape blooming resolutely beside the cliffs attracts many flower enthusiasts every year. Over 60 hectares of daffodil clusters grow along the coast, with the surging waves hitting the majestic rocky cliffs. However, the daffodils stand firm against the sea breeze, which only serves to spread their fragrance further and wider. On a clear day, not only can you enjoy the sea and flowers simultaneously, but you can also watch the sunset at Echizen's Cap, one of Japan's top 100 sunset spots. This triple feast for the eyes, ears, and nose can be enjoyed all at once.
