Happiring (Fukui Jura Mall), the incredibly convenient mixed-use landmark right next to Fukui Station!
As soon as you exit JR Fukui Station, you'll see this striking modern building and its impressive, enormous semi-outdoor glass-domed plaza, Hapistation. The mall is practically a miniature showcase of Fukui's charms, with everything from restaurants serving local specialties, Echizen soba, and sauce katsudon to a wide selection of Fukui crafts, local products, and souvenir shops. Upstairs, there's also a space science museum and planetarium equipped with the latest technology. With frequent local markets and music events as well, it's a 5-star convenient hub not to be missed when visiting Fukui, whether you're shopping while waiting for a train, sampling local food, or taking an indoor stroll!
