As the entranceway to Obama City, the Roadside Station Wakasa-Obama is Obama City’s first roadside station and it provides a lot of local information. It has a wide variety of goods, from specialty goods from food city Obama, to local seasonal vegetables to even crafts, and the food menu included mackerel named for Saba Kaido. There are many choices, like “mackerel dumplings,” “mackerel curry,” “mackerel & potatoes,” but “soy-aroma mackerel sandwich” is quite popular, winning a prize at the “Do-1 Grand Prix.”

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.
