#Japan Attractions The more famous beaches in Japan, mostly in Okinawa... The water island located in Fukui Prefecture is a secret island and beach😍😍 ▶️ About 500 meters long, slender uninhabited island ▶️ "Hokuriku's Hawaii", the blue sea and white sandy beaches ❤️❤️ This secret place is only open for about a few months a year... the sea water is clear to see the bottom, and there is less pollution in the upper ocean. So many people bring diving goggles to see marine life🐟😍 ⏺️Access: From JR "Tunka" Station, take the COMMUNITY BUS "Tomiya Line" for about 32 minutes. Get off at "Sebina (Sekohama)" Station and walk for 3 minutes to the "Sebina (Sekohama)" pier and transfer to the ferry for about 10 minutes

I got on a train from Kyoto, passed Lake Biwa, and got off halfway. I strolled around Tsuruga, a town I visited for the first time. I walked along the well-maintained streets from the station to Tsuruga Port. This is a photo of the area around Kanagasaki Green Space. There are several historical and museums in the area, and Kanagasaki Green Space is a good place to take a break. I got a pamphlet from a nearby tourist facility. There's a line in a song that goes, "I want to walk through an unknown town. I want to go somewhere far away." By stopping off in a town you don't have a chance to visit, you can encounter unknown scenery. You can also find places you haven't seen on social media. I felt that this is the real joy of traveling, as I got off the train halfway. #FukuiTrip #Fukui #Tsuruga #Trip #TripWithStopsAlongTheWay #WalkingAroundTheWay #Trip #Trip #SummerWeekendTrip #KeihanGroupCampaign #WalkingAroundTheWay #TsurugaPort

I got off at Tsuruga Station on the JR Hokuriku Main Line. My destination was Shiosou's original tai sushi, which has been making ekiben since the Meiji era. Looking back at history, it seems that they have been in business here for generations since the early Edo period. Their pressed sushi made with lotus roe caught in the nearby seas is elegant, easy to eat, and filling, making it a great meal for your train trip or as a souvenir. I actually wanted to buy some sasa sushi, but it required a reservation in advance. Unfortunately, I didn't do enough research this time. . Thunderbird and Shirasagi express trains stop at Tsuruga Station. On this day, the connecting train was significantly delayed, so I was stuck. However, the multi-purpose facility (?) directly connected to the station, Olpark, has a variety of shops and facilities, including a waiting room, restrooms, a convenience store, and a standing soba restaurant, in addition to Shiosou, so the wait time was not a problem even in the middle of winter. When transferring between trains in rural areas, it is reassuring to use a terminal station in case something happens. Also, the Hokuriku Shinkansen will be extended to Tsuruga in 2024. #Fukui #Tsuruga #ekiben #Hokuriku Shinkansen

Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture. I went to a local specialty restaurant in Tsuruga City 🍴 It's called Europaken. It's a traditional Western-style restaurant 😋 It's voluminous and filling! I recommend the sauce katsudon ♡ If you're in Tsuruga, be sure to stop by! # Photogenic spot

Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture. As this is a place facing the Sea of ​​Japan, there is a place where you can eat fresh seafood from the Sea of ​​Japan! It is called the Sea of ​​Japan Fish Town🐟 You can eat seafood bowls, including Echizen crabs🤤 It is also accessible by bus from Tsuruga Station, so it is a recommended spot. #photogenicspot

Kehi Shrine is located in Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture. Locals affectionately call it "Keisan" 👀 It is said to be one of the three largest wooden torii gates in Japan ⛩ (The other two are Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima and Kasuga Taisha in Nara) It was a spot that gave me power. #photogenicspot

Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture. There is also a red brick warehouse here♡ A port with a retro townscape. There are so many photogenic spots I couldn't stop taking photos📸 I also took a break at a stylish cafe♡♡ #photogenicspot

We chose to take the ferry as a means of transportation from Fukui to Hokkaido 🚢 Because it was the off-season, there were very few people on the ferry and we felt like we were always being treated like VIPs 🥰 We were able to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant, and the quality was so high that it was hard to believe it was on board, so if you do board, please try the food in the restaurant 🍛 #StayingAtHome #Tsuruga #Tomakomai #AmazingView #GourmetTrip #TripToEnjoySpring #CoupleTrip #Gourmet

I went to the Tsuruga Red Brick Warehouse, which is located in Fukui Prefecture closer to Kyoto❤️ Inside, there were miniatures of old stations and train lines, which were really cute☺️ If you go to Tsuruga, please stop by! #stayhome #greatviews #foodtrip #triptoenjoyspring #coupletrip #food

Matsubara Beach Resort There are also places where you can camp. The view is very nice❤️ 📍 33 Matsushimacho、Tsuruga、Fukui 914-0801 #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Hokuriku Tour-Fukui Prefecture Fukui Prefecture is the least popular of the three prefectures in Hokuriku. The largest cities are Fukui, where the prefectural capital is located, and Tsuruga, located in the south, which is connected to Kyoto, Osaka, and Lake Biwa. The Kanazawa-Tsuruga section of the Hokuriku Shinkansen was opened to traffic on March 16 last year, so the time required to travel to Fukui Prefecture will be greatly reduced in the future. Fukui is most famous for its Echizen crab, pork cutlet rice, and the Tojinbo coast. It is true that compared to the surrounding Kanazawa, Kyoto and even Toyama, it really does not have many characteristics, but because of this, life in Fukui is more local. There wasn't much of a tourist feel to it. Using the Hokuriku Pass 4-day ticket, you can also use the local private railway Echizen Railway Co., Ltd. (Japanese: Echizen Tetsudo Kabushiki Kaishi) in Fukui to go to Mikuni Port. Single-section trams are rare in Japan. Of course, there is also a Katsuyama Eiheiji Line to the mountains, but unfortunately I didn't choose to go there this time because I didn't have enough time. In addition, early April is the cherry blossom season in Hokuriku. The cherry trees along the Asuwa River in downtown Fukui are very beautiful. Unfortunately, the only drawback of this trip to Fukui was that the weather was not good and the sky was cloudy. There is also a seaport city at the southern end of Fukui Prefecture. Tsuruga is also the current terminus of the Hokuriku Shinkansen. The Kehijingu Shrine in Tsuruga is also very beautiful. There is a small commercial complex called Chienamiki in front of the station. It has a very beautiful bookstore and cafe. The Nakamichi Genzo Tea Shop Chienamiki is the store I chose during my break. The matcha is very delicious, and remember to buy some of their tea leaves, which are of very good quality. #Fukui #Hokuriku #Echizen The reason I came to visit this city was because a work was set in Fukui, which made me realize that there is such a place in Hokuriku. #福彩电鉄 #福井県 #千歳くんはラムネ bottle のなか

#aprilblooms It is said that it was built in 702, Echizen Province Ichinomiya, the general governor of Hokuriku Province. Tsunuga Shrine, a shrine in the precincts, is said to be the birthplace of the place name "Tsuruga", and is known locally as "Kei-san". In the precincts, there are four shrines, called the main hall, the East Hall, the Sosha Palace, the Heiden Palace, and the West Shrine, which are called the Four Shrines, and the Inner Hall and Outer Halls are connected from the main hall to the path. The vermilion-painted large torii towering on the path is one of the "three major torii" in Japan, along with the large torii of Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara and Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima. Although most of the shrines were rebuilt, the Otorii escaped air raids during World War II and is designated as an important cultural property of the country.

#Spring0yentrip Tsuruga is a port town facing the Sea of ​​Japan, and the quiet atmosphere that evokes nostalgia left an impression. The first thing you see when you get off the station is the Tsuruga Red Brick Warehouse, with its rows of retro buildings that are typical of a port town, and the atmosphere of the logistics hub of the time still remains. Inside the building, there is an exhibition introducing the history of railways and ports, and I was able to once again learn that Tsuruga was a gateway connecting Japan to the world. Walking along the seaside, there are also places rich in nature such as Kehi no Matsubara and Kanagasaki Green Space, which are perfect for a leisurely stroll. Tsuruga is also known as a railway town, and at the Railway and Port Diorama Museum, you can enjoy looking at the intricately crafted models. It's not too touristy, so it was nice to be able to explore at my own pace. It was a relaxing destination where I could feel the atmosphere of a history and port town.

📍Address: JR Tsuruga Station Tsuruga is a small town located on the harbor. It is recommended to walk from the JR station to the port. There are arcades along the shopping street, so you don't have to worry about the sun. You will pass by the large torii gate of Kehi Jingu Shrine. The torii gate is very conspicuous and you can't miss it. For lunch, you can try the famous local European restaurant, which serves a generous portion of fried pork chops with sweet and sour sauce and lettuce salad. Overall, Tsuruga doesn’t have any major attractions, but it’s a pleasant place to take a walk and experience the coastal town of Japan.

#Sakura viewing Tsuruga Castle or Tsuruga Castle When spring comes This place will be decorated with the soft pink color of hundreds of cherry trees. The atmosphere is beautiful as if you have entered a painting. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom around early to mid-April Take a leisurely walk around the castle moat lined with cherry blossoms in full bloom The cold weather and gentle wind make the cherry blossom petals fall down like pink snow It's so romantic Even more so in the evening, the sunset hits the castle and flowers, making the view here so beautiful that you have to stop and look. 📍 Tsuruga Castle, Aizu-Wakamatsu, Fukushima, Japan #TsurugaCastle #SakuraSeason #JapanTrip #CherryBloom #TravelJapan #JapaneseCastle #AizuWakamatsu #Fukushima #SakuraViewJapan

Hey everyone 👋, today I'm sharing a hidden gem in Japan – Tsuruga City in Fukui Prefecture 🎉. This coastal city sees very few tourists. Here's the key info ‼️: Tsuruga isn't large, and there aren't a ton of tourist spots within the city. If you're energetic and enjoy walking, you can cover everything in half a day. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, no worries! Electric bicycle rentals are readily available, such as outside the Red Brick Warehouse 🚲. Here are some must-see spots in Tsuruga: 🌟 Tsuruga Red Brick Warehouse Built in 1905, this warehouse was originally used to store oil and stands as a testament to Tsuruga's prosperous history as a major port city. Today, it has been transformed into a multifunctional cultural space featuring exhibitions, leisure activities, and dining. The industrial aesthetic of the red brick building, combined with the stunning views of Tsuruga Port, makes it incredibly photogenic. It's a must-visit spot that seamlessly blends historical significance with modern artistry. Opening hours are 10:00 am - 5:30 pm, so don't miss out 🕙. 🌟 Kanagasaki Coast Known for its breathtaking ocean views and historical sites, Kanagasaki Coast is home to Kanagasaki-gu Shrine, which is associated with Oda Nobunaga, making it a must-see for history buffs. During cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons, the scenery is unbelievably beautiful, resembling a vibrant painting. Standing on the coast, you can feel the gentle sea breeze while immersing yourself in the rich history and natural beauty of this port city. Kanagasaki Coast is most enchanting at sunset, offering a perfect blend of stunning views and captivating tales from the Sengoku period. It's open 24/7, so you can visit anytime 😍. 🌟 Kehi Shrine With a history spanning 1,300 years, Kehi Shrine is famous for its magnificent vermillion torii gate, one of the three largest in Japan. Whether you seek blessings or simply admire architectural beauty, this shrine is an ideal place to experience traditional Japanese culture. Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time, allowing you to deeply appreciate the rich history and religious atmosphere. It's open all day, offering a chance to immerse yourself in its unique charm 🕛. 🌟 Kehi no Matsubara As one of Japan's three largest pine groves, Kehi no Matsubara is breathtakingly beautiful. This vast pine forest offers a tranquil natural escape. Whether it's a sunny day with blue skies and white clouds against the backdrop of pine trees or a misty, poetic scene on a rainy day, the beauty is captivating. It's perfect for leisurely strolls, bike rides, or simply relaxing and unwinding. Its beauty transcends seasons, offering a unique experience year-round 🌳. 🌟 Tsuruga Museum Street This street is a cultural hub, home to several museums. Here, you can delve into Tsuruga's history, from its port origins to its local culture, gaining a comprehensive understanding of this important Hokuriku port city's unique charm 📚. 🌟 Seafood Street A paradise for seafood lovers! Fresh catches are delivered directly from the port, offering a tantalizing array of seafood. I recommend trying the kaisendon (seafood rice bowl), grilled crab, and tai (sea bream) sashimi – they're incredibly delicious. Remember to arrive early to snag the freshest catches 🦀. ⭕️ Food and Specialties Tsuruga boasts a variety of specialties, including various types of kelp and pufferfish. Recommended dishes include Tsuruga ramen, seafood donburi, sauce katsudon (pork cutlet rice bowl), and sushi, although I personally found them to be quite standard 😆. If you're looking to escape the crowds and experience a different side of Japan, Tsuruga City is definitely worth a visit 💖. Have you ever been to a hidden gem like this 🧐?
