As the sun dipped behind the distant mountains, I found myself at 道の駅三方五湖自然観察棟. The air was crisp, carrying the scent of pine and the gentle lapping of waves. With each step, the tranquil beauty of Lake Mikata unfolded. Reflecting hues of orange and pink, the water mirrored the changing sky. It was a moment frozen in time, where the world paused, and nature's artistry painted an indelible image in my heart.

Kumagawajuku is an important post station from Wakasa to Kyoto. It is a former post station. On the 1-kilometer-long street, you can see the traces of the magistrate's office, police station, and warehouse at that time, which preserves the prosperity of the post station in the Edo period. It is an important traditional building group preservation area designated by the Japanese government. Kumagawajuku also has many recommended delicacies. In addition to mackerel sushi, kudzu cake made of kudzu powder is also one of the delicacies. If you have the opportunity to come here, you must try it.
