    An observations deck in the Suizu Parking Area on the southbound side of the Hokuriku Expressway in Suizu, Tsuruga City. A well-known scenic location overlooking Tsuruga Bay there's an anecdote that when Emperor Taisho was riding a train along the former Hokuriku Main Line and was stopped at Suizu Station in this same location he delayed the departure of the train as he was so taken by the view. This is a great place to watch the setting sun sink below the horizon and there's also a Lover's Heart Lock installation where you can attach a padlock to swear your love.

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.
