#Sakura2024 🌸Sakura practice blooming @Fukui When cherry blossoms bloom, it is a season that many people look forward to. Pang is no exception. 🗓️The forecast says that this year, cherry blossoms will bloom 10 days later than last year. People who have never seen cherry blossoms like Pang have been waiting (although I have secretly looked at them in Kyoto, but there were only 2 trees). 🌸The most popular cherry blossom viewing spot in Fukui is along the Asuwa River. When the time comes, there will be yatai selling food. Many locals wait for the full bloom before going, but Pang is excited. When the weather is good, she does not hesitate to go and see what it is like. In conclusion, I will go all weekend. I plan to go again this week. The savings I have made for the whole month are 0️⃣. The next morning, there was news about the tax increase again. I comforted myself that it is rare. Although it has not bloomed all over, I think it will be full bloom this week. If anyone is passing by this city, please come and visit. We might even pass each other. 📌Asuwakawa, Fukui 🗓️Spring April 🕰️24 hrs #TravelJapan #pangsjourney #fukui #japan #sakura #hokuriku #Asuwakawa #fukui #fukui #sakura #hokuriku #japan

The Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum is famous for its life-sized dinosaur skeletons, interactive exhibits, and its role in paleontological research — a must-see for dinosaur lovers. How to Get There (by Public Transport): ・From JR Fukui Station, take the Echizen Railway (Katsuyama/Eiheiji Line) toward Katsuyama Station (60 min).  ・At Katsuyama Station, catch a community bus directly to the museum. (15 min) Bus fare is 300 yen one‐way (cash only). It’s definitely worth visiting if you have kids — the exhibits are engaging, hands-on, and very well done. That said, public transport might not be the most convenient option during busy times. It can get crowded, especially on weekends.

Fukui City is a leisurely small town surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. Along the Asuwa River that runs through the city, it is a great place for residents to relax and take walks, with distinct scenery in each season. Although the city is small, it has a rich heritage. The stone walls of the Fukui Castle ruins in the city center tell stories of the past, while the title "Dinosaur Kingdom" gives it a unique world-class label. Here, the pace is slow and pleasant. You can feel a moment of tranquility in the garden of Yokokokan, then step into a small shop to enjoy the simple deliciousness of a bowl of sauce pork cutlet rice. Fukui City cleverly blends nature, history, and daily life, making it worth savoring slowly.

Japan's most photogenic temple: Eiheiji Temple. Located in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, it was founded 750 years ago by Zen Master Dogen. Eiheiji Temple is very suitable for photography. When I visited, it was raining, which added a unique charm. If you have time, you can also stay in the temple's lodging, experience Zazen here, and it is said that the vegetarian meals here are also very delicious.
