Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. Tojinbo is a designated natural monument and scenic spot of the country. It is a huge columnar joint that stretches for about 1 km along the coastline in northern Fukui Prefecture. It is one of Fukui's top tourist spots and is also famous as a location for filming dramas. You can see the beautiful Sea of ​​Japan and the impressive cliffs. The highest cliff in Tojinbo, called Oike, is 25 meters high, and there is also a place called Senjojiki where you can go down to the shore. The sun set at 6:20 on this day, so this time I went to Tojinbo, which I had always wanted to go to, to see the sunset. It was a weekday, but there were quite a few people there. There were a few shops, so you can enjoy gourmet food and shopping, but the shops were closed when I went. I was simply moved by the magnificent view created by nature. The sunset was hidden by clouds and I couldn't see it, but it's a spot I would like you to visit at least once. However, when I looked down at the sea from the cliff, my legs were quite shaking. There are no handrails, so if you slip, it will be a big problem, so please be careful when walking. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍Spot name: Tojinbo Tojinbo, Yasushima, Mikuni-cho, Sakai-shi, Fukui Prefecture 🚃From Tokyo, take the Hokuriku Shinkansen for about 3 hours, then take the Keifuku bus from Awara Onsen Station to Tojinbo for about 40 minutes #100TravelStyle #FukuiTrip #Tojinbo #DomesticTrip #PowerSpot

Oshima Bridge is a 224m vermilion bridge that spans Oshima Island off the coast of Tojinbo. You can walk or cycle across Oshima Bridge.

#日本景点 ⏭️There is a famous cliff "Tojinbo" along the coast of Fukui Prefecture ⏭️It is said that the sea erosion rock wall formed by the erosion of the waves over the years, these unique and magnificent landscapes can only be seen in Fukui. ⏭️The cliffs formed by the erosion of the waves are very unique A very impressive tourist attraction. It is worth visiting 😎😎 to check in and take pictures. Warm Tips: The place is relatively empty.. Pay attention to ⚠️Sunscreen ⏺️Address: Mikuni-cho, Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture ⏺️Transportation: Take the Keifuku bus to "Tojinbo" from JR "Awara Onsen" station for about 40 minutes, get off at "Tojinbo", and walk for about 3 minutes to arrive

This is the home of boat racing. It is the only boat racing venue in the Hokuriku region, and is tentatively classified as part of the Kinki region. It seems that the free bus service has not been operating recently due to COVID-19, so you will have to take a regular bus from the station. Parking is free. As you can see in the photo, the water is just beyond the lawn. You can enjoy exciting races as you are closer to the water than at other boat racing venues.

Tojinbo is a place where the unique topography and rough waves of the Hokuriku region are very impressive. It is a traditional tourist spot, and the group photo space that evokes the Showa era next to the rugged nature gives off a sense of security. It was sunny and warm for winter that day, and I wanted to watch the white waves crashing and breaking forever. I actually wanted to take a sightseeing boat, but the boat was canceled due to high waves. However, I was saved because the official Twitter account updates the operation status every day. You can get there by bus from JR Awara Onsen Station, or on foot from Mikuniko Station on the Tama local line, which takes about 30 minutes. I was on a trip to visit all prefectures, and now I've been to Fukui. #trip2022 #Tojinbo #Hokuriku

Located near Tojinbo in Fukui Prefecture, this aquarium is an attractive, hands-on aquarium! Compared to other aquariums, there are many creatures you can touch, and there is also a pool where you can swim with the fish 🐟 If you have small children with you, I think it will be a lot of fun! It may look small from the outside, but the inside is surprisingly spacious and deep. There are separate buildings for each creature kept, and it feels like an old-fashioned aquarium ☺️ How to get there: 74-2-3 Saki, Mikuni-cho, Sakai-shi, Fukui Prefecture ・Right next to the "Echizen Matsushima Aquarium Mae" bus stop #aquarium #fukui #echizenmatsushimaaquarium #aquarium #fukui #tourismsupport

Speaking of winter, it's definitely crab! I ate a lot of tagged crabs at Boyoro in Fukui Prefecture. The price varies depending on the size of the crab, but even a medium size is enough to fill me up! The crab sashimi and boiled crab were especially delicious! I want to go again! #useful travel information#unique accommodation#winter getaway#couple trip#food#recommended in December#trip to New Year's Eve

Price to enter is a bit high, but there's lot to see inside, with a wide variety of animals. Many kinds of fish, including some rare and unusual ones, jellyfish, octopus, sharks and rays, otters, penguins, dolphins, and more! Penguin walks and dolphin shows happen at various times in the day. You can feed sea turtles for a fee of 100 yen. Also, there are rest areas for families with small children to take a break, which is a great addition. I enjoyed seeing and interaction with fish and other animals. There is only one restaurant, which gets full quickly and is incredibly busy at most times. It would be better if there was another small cafe, or even just a food stand and some benches, elsewhere in the park but otherwise, it was a good experience overall! #givethanks #givethanks

Claim to be one of the oldest castle in Japan but being reconstructed after destroying by the earthquake a couple years ago. This is quite a small castle, but a lot of fun to climb up the steep wooden ladder like interior stairs to get to the next floor. Luckily there is a sturdy rope to hang onto to help you up and down. It's easier than it looks, but I wouldn't recommend it for the very young or very old. The views out the windows at the top are lovely. One direction you have mountains, the other direction you have the city. If I remember correctly there is a model map of the area, and old black and white photos of other famous Japanese castles up around the walls. You have to take off your shoes at the entrance so as not to scuff or dirt the lovely wooden floors. There are friendly guides and attendants at the entrance, but don't expect them to speak English. Overall it was a good experience! #givethanks #givethanks

Little Kyoto - Kanazawa. Compared with Kyoto, there are relatively fewer people. You can have a Japanese kimono experience and take beautiful kimono photos at Kenrokuen Garden, the tea house, and Kanazawa Castle. We booked to select the kimono at 10am and the kimono had to be returned before 4:30. I thought I had plenty of time, but because the scenery around me was so beautiful, I just managed to return it before 4:30 😜 Also not to be missed is the Omicho Market, where you can choose to eat sashimi and sea urchin standing up in shops along the way. You can also choose to go inside and enjoy it. The dry goods market is also not to be missed, I also bought a lot of good things 🤭 Take the train from Kanazawa to Fukui, the scenery along the way is beautiful. Of course, the one that cannot be missed is Tojinbo. The unique cliff scenery is a challenge for photography enthusiasts. If time permits, you can enjoy a cup of tea and slowly appreciate the sunset, which is also a beautiful thing🌅 I hope you also have a happy experience in Kanazawa💞
