Fukui Prefecture travel guide and discussion

It's close enough from the main train station that you can walk with your suitcase. Women owned independent vegan business, very eco-friendly and promoting a low-waste lifestyle. Gluten free options are also available. Lunch menus change weekly and as pictured, you can enjoy the healthy set with different traditional dishes. Prices are around 1500 jpy which is great value. There is a chance they sell out, so I recommend going early! It's open until 5pm and can also be used as a very cute and chill cafe with several healthy desserts. Closed on Tuesdays, cash only.#vegan #fukui #japan #vegetarian #cafe #japantrip #japanesefood #localfood #localguides #triplocal #hotdiscussions

It Is doable to finish it within several hours. I think we completed the task less than two hours thanks to the staff who gives us hint beforehand. How to join 1. Get the map from Tourist Center at JR Fukui Station. 2. Find the QR code, like my friend did in the video. There are two different QR code. One for information, the other one for the stamp rally, which hard to find sometimes. 3. Scan and collect 5 stamps out of 10. 4. Fill in the questionnaires 5. Download the certificate / virtual card 6. Go back to the Tourist Center to redeem the physical card. There you go, free sovenir from Fukui! Till then, Fukui.

Fukui Prefecture travel and gourmet log ☃️ I've compiled records from several visits, so please keep in mind that some photos and info might not be the most current, and the locations aren't listed in order 🙇‍♀️ Also, since public transport is sparse, I recommend driving if you can! · · 👓 Sightseeing 👓 · Fukui Station (Fukui City; JR, Echizen Railway, Hapi Line Fukui) You’ll find dinosaur monuments everywhere! In winter, the Dinosaur Plaza at the West Exit looks like a scene straight out of the Ice Age when the snow piles up (lol). The East Terrace also features plenty of humorous dinosaurs, and you can even take commemorative AR photos 📷 Definitely worth a look while you’re waiting for your Shinkansen or train 🦕 · · Tojinbo (Sakai City; Nearest: Keifuku Bus - Tojinbo) A famous spot often featured in suspense dramas 🌊 The contrast between the rugged rocks and the crashing waves is stunning! Some areas slope down toward the sea and the rocks can be slippery, so please watch your step 👟 There’s a surprising mix of seafood stalls and trendy cafes nearby 😂 I also recommend visiting Mikuni Shrine, about a 10-minute drive away ✨ (Nearest to Mikuni Shrine: Mikuni Jinja-mae) · · Eiheiji Temple (Eiheiji Town; Nearest: Keifuku Bus - Eiheiji Monzen) A renowned Zen temple and the head temple of the Soto sect 🪷 I was blown away by the mountain tranquility and the sheer majesty of the vast grounds...! The paths are well-maintained and easy to walk (mostly stone-paved rather than mountain trails), but there are many stairs, so be careful. If you get hungry, look for 'Habutai Mochi' alongside the traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine 🔍 · · Takefu Central Park (Echizen City; Approx. 20-min walk from JR Takefu Station) A sprawling park inspired by the works of children's author Satoshi Kako, like 'Daruma-chan' and 'The Crow's Bakery' 📚 From the 'Daruma-chan Plaza' with its massive playground equipment to the 'Izumi-ga-mori' pond for splashing around, it's a must-see for families and fans of the books 👀 When you need a break, there’s a Starbucks right on the park grounds ☕ Also, Murasaki Shikibu Park—which recreates a Heian-period garden—is a bit further away but offers a lovely, elegant atmosphere 🪭 · · 👓 Gourmet 👓 · Kiyosushi (Fukui City; Approx. 10-min walk from Echizen-Kaihotsu Station, Echizen Railway) A high-end sushi spot where you can savor the bounty of the Sea of Japan 🍣 If you book in advance, you can enjoy a full course meal! The steamed 'Nodoguro' (Blackthroat Seaperch) sushi and the clam sushi were absolute highlights ✨ The staff were incredibly kind and attentive—I definitely want to go back! · · Taiwanese Cuisine Tenkou (Nearest: Keifuku Bus - Ninomiya 2-chome) This Chinese restaurant is so affordable and generous with portions that it feels like a glitch, and the taste is fantastic 🍜 They have plenty of seating, so there's usually no wait! The staff are all locals (Taiwanese), making you feel like you’ve actually traveled to Taiwan 🥟 · · Yukian Kameya (Echizen City; Approx. 20-min walk from Shikibu Station, Hapi Line Fukui) A famous spot for authentic Echizen Soba 🥢 The second floor has traditional zashiki seating. It's spacious, but a line still forms during lunch! Both the classic Ten-zaru (tempura with cold soba) and the warm soba in broth are exquisite! · · Asuwayama Terrace (Fukui City; Approx. 15-min walk from Fudoyamaguchi, Keifuku Bus) A hilltop cafe overlooking the city from Asuwayama ☕ The two-story cafe is filled with photo spots 📸 The food and sweets are not only delicious but also super photogenic 🧁 You’ll need to walk up a mountain path, so take care if you're using public transport! Also, Kegayakuryu Shrine at the foot of the mountain is said to be a powerful hidden 'power spot'...! · · Local Specialties Source Katsudon and Volga Rice (Echizen City) are also very famous! Make sure to give them a try 😋 · · 👓 Recommended Hotel 👓 · Hotel Fujita Fukui (Fukui City; Approx. 8-min walk from JR Fukui Station) A prestigious hotel known for hosting the current Emperor Emeritus and Empress Emerita 🛏️ It feels a bit classic/old-school, but it was clean and very comfortable! The view of the Fukui Castle ruins from the window is spectacular ✨ I also loved the 'amenity bar' at the front desk where you can pick up shampoo, treatment, and bath salts 🫧 · · Thank you for reading to the end! If you enjoyed this, please leave a like or a comment 💓 I also post travel articles about Japan and overseas at my own pace, so I’d love for you to check out my other posts 🧳

#slowtraveling Echizen Washi Village (Echizen-shi, Fukui) clusters 30+ paper studios in the Imadate valley—JR Hokuriku Line to Takefu (~2h40 from Tokyo via Maibara, ~6,500 yen IC), then Community Bus to "Washi no Sato" (~25 min, ~300 yen IC/cash), 5 min walk. Free village street, individual studios charge 300–800 yen for a sheet-pulling demo (cash), the Papermaking Museum 300 yen adult (9–17, closed Mon). I went 9:15 a.m. weekday: bus from Takefu, walked the stream-side lane where the Echizen river still drives the old waterwheels—each studio has a wooden trough, a vat of mulberry pulp, a master pulling a sheet in 90 seconds. Paid 500 cash at one studio to pull my own (kept it, dried crooked, framed it), then the museum 30 min, then a 400-yen washi notebook (cash) from the co-op. The trail's gift is the sound—the slap of the bamboo screen on the vat, repeated since 1500. IC train+bus, cash studios. Etiquette: the stream is the power source—don't step the millrace, the demo vat is work not a photo prop (ask "one shot?" before raising the phone), the museum's 8th-c paper scrolls are gloved-case only. Mistake: 13:00 August—studios rotate lunch closure, the lane half-shut. 9:15 weekday, first vat slap, is Echizen's own sheet. Question: when a village makes paper by hand because the river still turns the wheel, is the machine the tradition or the excuse?

For the looooongest time! I've wanted to visit the "Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum," and I finally made it!🦖 There was way more to see than I imagined, and I seriously didn't have enough time at all😂 I wanted to take my time and look at everything more closely, and I missed out on the fossil digging and other experiences because the timing didn't work out... I definitely have to come back here and make up for it!🦕 Plus, there are even dinosaurs along the road leading up to the museum, making just the drive there super fun!🚗 If you're visiting, I highly recommend giving yourself plenty of extra time to enjoy not only the exhibits but the hands-on experiences too! It's a museum where adults can have just as much fun as kids🦕 ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ A must-visit spot if you ever travel to Fukui! ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー 📍 Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum 51-11 Terao, Muroko-cho, Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 🎫 Ticket Prices (Permanent Exhibition) · Adults: 1,000 yen · High School / College Students: 800 yen · Elementary / Junior High Students: 500 yen · Seniors (70+): 500 yen · Preschoolers: Free · Please note that advance tickets for a specific date and time are generally required⚠️ Prefectural Dinosaur Museum

#bucketlistdestinations Eiheiji Temple in Fukui Prefecture is a 900-year-old Zen monastery where mossy stone paths wind through cedar forests. I took the JR Hokuriku Line to Fukui Station (¥2,500 from Tokyo), then the 1-hour bus to Eiheiji (¥800, IC cards accepted). The Eiheiji Temple Path is a 1-km loop through mossy gardens and cedar groves. The temple entrance is ¥500 (cash only), and you’ll need to remove your shoes to enter the meditation halls. I visited in November, when the moss was deep green against the autumn leaves. The path is flat, but the moss hides uneven stones—I wore socks and slipped once; indoor shoes with grip are better. Mistake: I talked loudly on the path—rude. The temple is a place of meditation; silence is mandatory. Bring ¥1,000 cash for the entrance and a shojin ryori(Buddhist vegetarian) lunch at the temple (cash only). Kindness beat: A monk offered me a cup of matcha(green tea) after the meditation session, saying “moss wa shizuka na kokoro, ocha wa sono kotoba” (moss is a quiet heart, tea is its words). Is a Zen temple more peaceful because of the moss, or does the moss teach us to walk as if every step is a meditation?

If you're looking for a Japanese city that's easy to get around, less crowded than Tokyo, but still has everything from delicious food and shopping to nature and beautiful sights, Fukuoka is the answer that many people fall in love with. This largest city in the Kyushu region is famous for its authentic ramen, bustling canal areas, beautiful shrines, and an atmosphere that perfectly blends modernity with traditional Japanese charm. Another advantage is that the airport is very close to the city center, just a few minutes' drive away, allowing you to start exploring immediately after landing. It's ideal for 3-5 day trips or for those who want to begin exploring Japan independently. If this is your first time visiting Fukuoka, try starting with this list. You're guaranteed to see all the landmarks, delicious food, and beautiful spots without missing a thing! 🇯🇵✨ ⸻ 🏙 Must See Important Landmarks You Can't Miss ⛩ Kushida Shrine An ancient shrine in Fukuoka, notable for its traditional Japanese architecture.

The charm of Fukuoka lies in its perfect balance: a city that's not too big, easy to navigate, friendly people, and delicious food found everywhere. Whether it's strolling along the Momochi waterfront, sampling authentic ramen, enjoying food from Yatai (street food stalls), or shopping in the Tenjin area, everything is within easy walking distance, allowing for a relaxed pace. For those planning their first trip to Japan, or wanting to experience a more relaxed atmosphere than a big metropolis, Fukuoka is the ideal place to start, and a city many long to return to again and again. 🇯🇵❤️ ⸻ #Fukuoka #FukuokaTravel #FukuokaTrip #JapanTravel #JapanTrip #Kyushu #FirstTripGuide #HakataRamen #CanalCityHakata #FukuokaTower #OhoriPark #Yatai #TripCom #JourneyWithMom #TravelGuide

Bamboo blinds half-rolled, just enough to let in the silent thunder. Forget the guide; find the dog dozing by the door. Such aimless wandering is the purest declaration of love for life. We always assume travel needs a reason, never realizing that the act of setting off is the meaning itself. Standing on a nameless street corner, watching sunlight filter through the leaves to cast dappled shadows—in this very moment, you don't need to think; you only need to feel. Being fully present in the moment is the best antidote to anxiety and confusion. The greatness of travel lies in the pause button it hands us, allowing us to rediscover our passion for life while doing absolutely nothing. This simple joy is the gentlest comfort time has to offer.

-Eiheiji Temple- Eiheiji Temple in Fukui Prefecture is a historic temple renowned as the head temple of the Soto sect of Zen Buddhism. Historic buildings dot the expansive grounds, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely stroll in a tranquil, silent space. I visited at the end of summer, right before the autumn leaves started to turn. Deep greenery spread across the grounds, and the beauty of the moss was truly striking. The scenery, a perfect harmony of nature and history, soothes the soul just by walking through it. The long corridors connecting the buildings and the historic architecture are also major highlights. Since the grounds are vast and have many stairs, I highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes. This time, I took a taxi to get there. While it is accessible by public transportation, taking a taxi is very convenient if you want to make the most of your time or have a lot of luggage. 📍5-15 Shihi, Eiheiji-cho, Yoshida-gun, Fukui Prefecture

#Sakura2024 🌸Sakura practice blooming @Fukui When cherry blossoms bloom, it is a season that many people look forward to. Pang is no exception. 🗓️The forecast says that this year, cherry blossoms will bloom 10 days later than last year. People who have never seen cherry blossoms like Pang have been waiting (although I have secretly looked at them in Kyoto, but there were only 2 trees). 🌸The most popular cherry blossom viewing spot in Fukui is along the Asuwa River. When the time comes, there will be yatai selling food. Many locals wait for the full bloom before going, but Pang is excited. When the weather is good, she does not hesitate to go and see what it is like. In conclusion, I will go all weekend. I plan to go again this week. The savings I have made for the whole month are 0️⃣. The next morning, there was news about the tax increase again. I comforted myself that it is rare. Although it has not bloomed all over, I think it will be full bloom this week. If anyone is passing by this city, please come and visit. We might even pass each other. 📌Asuwakawa, Fukui 🗓️Spring April 🕰️24 hrs #TravelJapan #pangsjourney #fukui #japan #sakura #hokuriku #Asuwakawa #fukui #fukui #sakura #hokuriku #japan

《Myojo Farm》 ꪔ̤̫͚Sabae, Fukui MYOJO FARM is located next to Fukui's Soba Village, where you can eat a luxurious strawberry parfait🍓 topped with plenty of strawberries picked that morning at a strawberry farm.

Mikuni Port once flourished as a city of water and marine transport, and even today, the town still retains its charming streetscape. Brick buildings and storehouses housing floats are often seen when taking a walk. Some of these historic buildings have been renovated to house shops, and it feels like the old and new coexist in perfect harmony. #retrotownscape #MikuniPort #FukuiPrefecture

I went to "Ding by JIN DIN ROU" on the 8th floor of Seibu in front of Fukui Station! 🌷 If you go around 1pm on a weekday, you can probably get in without waiting🙆🏻‍♀️ I ordered the "Selectable Casual Lunch" for 1,200 yen including tax.
