Mikata Five Lakes
The Mikata Five Lakes are located across Mihama Town and Wakasa Town in Fukui Prefecture. They lie within Wakasa Bay Quasi-National Park and collectively refer to five lakes-Lake Mikata, Lake Suigetsu, Lake Suga, Lake Kugushi, and Lake Hyuga. The area is also designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty. From Lake Hyuga, which connects to Wakasa Bay, to Lake Mikata, the most inland of the five, each lake differs in water type (freshwater, seawater, and brackish water) as well as depth.
The lake views look totally different depending on the angle, and each lake has its own color too. It’s pretty amazing.

Jindaiji Temple
This temple is renowned for warding off dangers and matchmaking, with a National Treasure, a seated Buddha statue of Shaka Nyorai, located in the Shaka Hall.
The most famous thing here is the Jindaiji soba noodles. They’re handmade right on site and smell amazing!

ONE PIECE Shinkansen
The globally renowned hit series ONE PIECE, beloved for its manga, anime, and live-action adaptation, has teamed up with the SANYO SHINKANSEN, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of its full operation in 2025. This collaboration brings the world of ONE PIECE to life on the tracks, as specially designed trains travel through the Sanyo area-an area between mountains and the sea that closely resembles the setting of the series.
Traveling along the Seto Inland Sea with the Shinkansen and the ONE PIECE theme is just like a dream come true.
