- Fukui Sakai-shi Mikunicho Kitahonmachi 4-6-54
- A historical building located in Kitahonmachi 4-Chome, Mikun-cho, Sakai City. The house is located in the Mikuni Minato port area which flourished in the Edo and early Meiji periods due to the Kitamaebune shipping routes which ran across the Sea of Japan. It was the former residence of the Kishina family who worked for generations as lumber dealers and used the house to distribute goods brought down to the port town along the Kazuryu River. The house is registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. The house is open to the public and various materials are on display within the building.
Fukui Areas
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.
