    Fukui Pref. Fukuishi Keya , Tsumono, Yuu, Akari Town
    This roughly 2,200 meter-long tunnel of pink flowers extends from Kidabashi Bridge to Shinakaribashi Bridge. In addition to old-growth Yoshino cherries, a great variety of other cherry blossoms have been planted here on the bank of the Asuwa River. Each year during the cherry blossom season, the trees are lit up at night for the Fukui Spring Festival held here. Visitors to the festival can enjoy the wondrous world created by the garden lantern style footlights.

    Fukui Ono-shi Hakogase
    A location famous for its sakura cherry trees in Hakogase, Ono City. In 1971 haiku poet Yamaguchi Seishi, who was serving as head of the board of the Kuzuryu Manbon Sakura-kai (Kuzuryu 10,000 Sakura Tree Association), started the planting of cherry trees near Kuzuryu Lake, a dam lake along Kuzuryu River, with the goal of planting 10,000 cherry trees. This effort continues on through today. In spring the view of cherry blossoms interwoven with the blue of the lake makes for a beautiful sight to behold.

Northeast of Kyoto, the ancient Tojinbo Cliffs separate Fukui prefecture from the Sea of Japan in a stretch of land well worth exploring. Water sports and seaside delicacies are available in abundance as the spectacular rugged coastline flattens down into beaches to the west of the prefecture, while inland, Fukui is home to Zen Buddhist temples and historic ruins.
