    Fukui Pref. Fukuishi Houei 3-12-1
    This museum, which has a wealth of collections, including the Fukui City Shungaku Commemorative Collection, relating to the Fukui feudal domain and the Echizen Matsudaira Family, has a lot to see such as permanent exhibit rooms divided into 4 themes from pre-historic times up to the post-war recovery period as well as the Matsudaira Historical Records Room. Special exhibitions are also recommended as visitors can learn about the history of Japan and Asia while focusing on local history.

    A small museum, but with many interesting exhibits, such as ancient burial tombs, and old swords and armour, but unfortunately there is no English explanation for the exhibits. Found the Japanese...

    Fukui Pref. Fukuishi Omiya 2-19-15
    The Fukui Prefectural Museum of Cultural History is a museum in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture that is dedicated to the history and industrial heritage of the Fukui region. The authentic artifacts on display and the section dedicated to the period from the mid-1950s through to the early 1970s are of particular interest. In the “Life in the Showa Period” corner, which recreates life in both rural communities and towns in that era, there is plenty to inspire nostalgia among visitors who remember those times, including a reconstruction of a traditional farmhouse and of a Dagashiya (traditional Japanese sweet shop). The lighting, sound effects and other aspects of the displays are changed with the seasons, further enhancing the experience for visitors to the Museum. The Museum is around 10 minutes’ drive from JR Fukui Station.

    Fukui Fukui-shi Chuo 1-2-1 Happiring 5F

    凄く迫力があり勉強になり大好きで子供とよくいきます。がチケットうけとりの女性がいつも不機嫌そうで子供大嫌いオ−ラだしており子供が喋りかけても無視。 話かけてもいやいやしゃべります。横でみてて非常に気分がわるいです。あとのスタッフの方はみんな挨拶などしてくれるのですが。 あの人がいると子供が近くにいかないように気をつかっています。

    Fukui Fukui-shi Higashi Morita 1-chome 2415

    九頭竜川沿いに建つ福井市の配水塔です。場所がわかりにくいためか、訪れる人は全然いませんでした。ただ、ここの近くには北陸新幹線を建設しています。展望デッキからは新幹線だけでなく市街地を見渡せるので、新幹線が開通したら話題のスポットになるでしょう。

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.
