Echizen Ono Castle
Echizen Ono Castle rises to the top of Mount Kameyama (249 meters above sea level) in Ono City, Fukui Prefecture. The castle was initially built around 1580 but burned down in 1775. The current castle was reconstructed in 1968.
The castle's architecture is rustic and elegant, blending beautifully with the surrounding natural scenery.
Fukui Station West Plaza (Dinosaur Plaza)
With the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen in March 2024, Fukui Station is drawing increased attention. The "Dinosaur Plaza" at the west exit is a fitting gateway to Fukui Prefecture, known as the "Dinosaur Kingdom" due to the numerous fossils discovered here. The plaza boasts a variety of dinosaur-themed attractions.
The plaza has a modern and open design, which makes the space feel really spacious.
Gokayama Ainokura/Suganuma Gassho-Zukuri Village
In the southwestern tip of Toyama Prefecture, Gokayama consists of 40 small villages scattered across five valleys.
It's like a smaller version of Shirakawa-go, but it's a great choice if you prefer somewhere less crowded and quieter.
