Did you know there's a Pokémon manhole cover, a “Pokéfuta,” on the road beside the west exit multi-storey car park in front of Awara-Onsen Station? In March, when the Hokuriku Shinkansen station opened, a Pokéfuta featuring Dragonite—the Fukui support Pokémon—and designs inspired by various local landscapes were installed around the prefecture. Hunting for them could make a fun trip. More installation sites are planned.

Hello! This is the Fukui Prefecture Tourism Federation. Fukui Prefecture has become one of the most talked-about regions now that the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension has made access from Tokyo much easier. We will share information about Fukui’s sightseeing spots, gourmet food, and more. Please look forward to it! ◆About Fukui Prefecture Fukui Prefecture faces the Sea of Japan in the Chubu region. On March 16, 2024, the Hokuriku Shinkansen was extended between Kanazawa and Tsuruga, reducing the fastest travel time from Tokyo to 2 hours and 51 minutes. About 80 percent of Japan’s dinosaur fossils have been excavated in Fukui Prefecture, earning it the nickname “Dinosaur Kingdom” and making it home to many dinosaur-related facilities. Facing the Sea of Japan, Fukui is one of Japan’s premier fishing grounds, where you can enjoy fresh seafood. Especially Echizen crab, Wakasa fugu (pufferfish), and Echizen Flounder are high-quality specialties you can only taste here. Fukui is also one of the world’s leading eyewear production centers, manufacturing 95 percent of Japan’s frames. ◆Popular sightseeing spots in Fukui Prefecture Fukui is broadly divided into four areas: ◇Awara, Sakai, and Fukui City area ◇Eiheiji and Okuetsu area ◇Wakasaji area ◇Tannan area Below are recommended spots in each area. ◇Awara, Sakai, and Fukui City area ・Tojinbo Tojinbo, a cliff-lined coastline stretching about one kilometer, is often used for dramatic climaxes in suspense dramas. It is recognized as one of the world’s three great scenic wonders, a National Natural Monument, one of Japan’s 100 geological sites, and one of Japan’s 100 best sunsets. In recent years it has become popular as a spot to see the “green flash,” when the sun briefly glows green as it sets into the Sea of Japan. ・Fukui Castle Ruins The castle ruins were built in 1606 by Hideyasu Yuki, the second son of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Stone walls remain, and the site is a popular cherry-blossom viewing spot. ◇Eiheiji and Okuetsu area ・Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum One of the world’s three great dinosaur museums, it displays about 50 dinosaur skeletons along with fossils, specimens, dioramas, and reconstructed models. It is a spot that delights both children and adults. ・Daihonzan Eiheiji A Zen training monastery founded by Zen Master Dogen, it still hosts many practicing monks. ◇Wakasaji area ・Mizushima A small uninhabited island off the tip of the Tsuruga Peninsula, Mizushima is reachable by a daily ferry that operates during the swimming season. Its beauty has earned it the nickname “Hawaii of the Hokuriku region.” ・Mikata Five Lakes The five lakes—Lake Mikata, Lake Suigetsu, Lake Suga, Lake Kugushi, and Lake Hiruga—span Mihama Town and Wakasacho in Fukui Prefecture. They are also called the “five colored lakes” because each has a different shade of blue. ◇Tannan area ・Murasaki Shikibu Park Named for the Heian-period author Murasaki Shikibu, who spent time in Takefu City, the park features a gilded statue of Murasaki Shikibu wearing a twelve-layered kimono. ・Kazurabashi (Vine Bridge) A rare vine suspension bridge measuring 44 meters long.

About Awara The happiest town in the happiest prefecture Located at the northernmost tip of Fukui Prefecture, Awara borders Mikuni in Sakai to the west, Sakai and Maruoka in Sakai to the south, and Kaga in Ishikawa Prefecture to the northeast, while its northwest faces the Sea of Japan. Covering 116.98 square kilometers, Awara features Lake Kitagata and the Sakai northern hills in the north; two urban centers centered on JR Awara-Onsen Station and the Awara hot spring district in the center; farmland in the southwest; and forested mountains rising 500–600 meters in the east. Major north–south transport routes cross the city, including the JR Hokuriku Main Line (Awara-Onsen Station), the Hokuriku Expressway (Kanazu I.C.), and National Route 8. The area includes rice paddies north of the Kuzuryu River, hilly zones known for vegetables and fruit production, satoyama countryside landscapes, the coastline and Lake Kitagata within the Echizen-Kaga Kaigan Quasi-National Park, and the Awara hot springs, which will soon mark 140 years—together offering a diverse and rich environment. History of Awara Awara Onsen is known for its pastoral views from the inns. It began in 1883 when a warm, slightly salty spring unexpectedly bubbled up while villagers were digging an irrigation well in a rice paddy. Villagers later dug more wells and hot springs appeared in many places; today the springs are limited to 74 wells. Shrines were built and the hot spring district was divided into three areas, and those structures still protect the springs. Each ryokan soothes travelers with lavish gardens designed with care, fresh seafood from the Sea of Japan, and warm, attentive hospitality. About 30 lodging facilities operate today, each offering a different style. Guests can choose accommodations that suit their tastes and travel party. Spring qualities and benefits of Awara Onsen Awara Onsen has no joint public management of its waters; each facility owns one or more spring wells. As a result, mineral content varies slightly by facility, letting visitors enjoy baths with subtly different textures. Known by those in the know as a hot spring area with many beautiful proprietresses, it is celebrated as “baths for beautiful skin.” [Spring Type] A neutral to slightly alkaline saline earth chloride spring containing sodium and potassium [Spring Temperature] 33.5–77.5°C [Benefits] For bathing: rheumatism, chronic dermatitis, neuralgia, atopic dermatitis For drinking: chronic gastritis, chronic hypochlorhydria
