    Fukui Pref. Nyugunechizenchou Kuriya 71-324-1
    This museum, which was reopened after renovations in 2016, is a place where you can encounter a new kind of “crab culture.” In this hands-on facility, visitors can have fun and learn about Echizen crabs and the mysteries of the Sea of Japan. The facility is divided into seven zones including the Crab Lab where you can study the different kinds of crabs and the structure of their bodies and the Under-sea Tunnel where you can see the different fish of the seasons off the Echizen coast.

    B級スポットだろうと侮っていましたが本格的なミュージアムでした。 入口にある越前ガニのトリックアート的な展示からぐいぐいと越前ガニの世界に引き寄せられ退館するころにはすっかり越前ガニの虜に。 おそるべし越前ガニ。食べるのはもちろんですが見るだけでも十分楽しませてくれます。残念ながら館内に試食コーナーなどはありません。花より団子なかたは諦めてください。この施設を通してカニの不思議な生態や漁の仕方や禁...

    Fukui Pref. Sabaeshi Sakuramachi 3-8-9
    Opened in 1985, the Sabae City Nishiyama Zoo has made great strides in raising and breeding rare wild animals, particularly the red panda. This zoo is one of the few in the country to successfully breed red pandas. Red pandas don’t like the heat so you can’t see them much in summer, but there are live cameras placed inside and outside the red panda house, so you can see them in all their cuteness.

    豪雪の中、鯖江の駅から歩いて行きました！ 人がマダラの中、辿り着いた時は感動でした。 そして、目的のレッサーパンダちゃんが可愛い❤️ リスザルちゃんもかわいい。 ここが入場料無料とは驚きです！ 来れてよかったです。

    メガネミュージアムの2fにあるカフェです。軽食がと飲み物が中心のお店でした。 ケーキセットを頼みました。チーズケーキとアイスコーヒーで値段は７００円で普通のおいしさでした。店内はメガネ会館の店舗やオブジェ、ガラス張りになって風景も見渡せ良い雰囲気でした。

    Fukui Nyu-gun Echizencho Asahi 17-3-1

In the main building they have exhibits displaying the evolutionary history of plants as well as a mini greenhouse with a collection of succulent plants. They also have hands-on classes such as creating handicrafts using plants.

    広大な植物園で、四季折々の草花も楽しめる。 土日はクラフトのイベントもあるようです。 しかし、植物園内のトイレの清掃が行き届いていなかったり、老朽化しており、厳しいです。 （建物内トイレはきれいです。ただし和式） 小さい子連れにはオススメしません。

Fukui Areas

around-area-map

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.
