Ichijōdani Asakura Ruins

#japantrip Ichijodani Asakura Family Historic Ruins is one of the most worthwhile attractions in Fukui. Due to the inconvenient transportation of the ruins, we took a bus to the Ichijodani Asakura Family museum and borrowed bicycles from the museum. The deposit for each bicycle was 1000 yen, and would be refunded after the bicycle was returned. In fact, museum also provided free shuttle service. The staffs of the museum were very kind and patiently guided us to the ruins.

Ichijōdani Asakura Ruins

Not easy to get to but well worth the trip if you are into Japanese history and can speak and understand a even a little Japanese. This is the site of a castletown that flourished deep in the mountains and nothing remained. Now there are a number of reconstructed residences and a large portion of the site has been excavated showing pillars, walls, wells, and so forth. A small museum has relics of medieval life. There is a small waterfall called 'Ichijo-daki' deep in the woods, about 3 km from Ichijodani Asakura Ruins. It is quite small waterfalls compared to other waterfalls I’ve visited but definitely worth a visit. #givethanks #givethanks

Asuwayama Park

Roads connect various areas on Asuwayama, making an interesting park near Fukui station. The park is walkable, though all paths are roads so sometimes need to be careful with cars. The main attraction is the zoo, which is free to enter, though closed during winter based on the signage posted near the entrance. Lots to see and do not only the petting zoo, it has the shrines, temples, gardens, and the Natural History museum. Asuwayama Park is an excellent area, but you will need a car or bicycle to make the most of it, as it is large and spread out but if you are like me, everything will be done on foot. #givethanks #givethanks
