    イトヨとは何か知らなかったのですが、綺麗な水に生息している淡水魚でした。魚にはトゲがあると聞きました。入るときは何か掃除をしている方がいたのですが中には職員の方はいました。

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.
