    Fukui Pref. Onoshi Nishikichou
    "Teramachi Avenue is located near the JR Echizen-Ono Station on the JR Kuzuryu (Etsumi-Hoku) Line in the city of Ono in Fukui Prefecture. Ono is known as the ""little Kyoto"" of the Hokuriku region, and its Teramachi (neighborhood with many temples) was built in the Tensho period (1573-1592) as part of Kanemori Nagachika's establishment of a castle town. He laid out the area in a checkerboard pattern in imitation of the layout of Kyoto and set it up with an emphasis on religion, with temples of every sect located in one small area. Zendoji Temple and Daihoji Temple are two of the most prominent of the many temples, shrines, and samurai houses creating a townscape that evokes pre-modern Japan."

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.
