Fukui Area
Fukui City is the capital of Fukui Prefecture. A convenient stop on the Limited Express Thunderbird service running from Kanazawa to Kyoto and Osaka, Fukui City itself doesn’t have a lot of attractions but is an ideal hub from which to explore the wider region including two of Central Japan’s most rewarding destinations – the Fukui Dinosaur Museum and Eiheiji Temple.
From Fukui, visitors can also head east to Hakusan National Park and onto further destinations including Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, Takayama and eventually onto Kamikochi. Located nearby the coast, visitors can also explore the rugged coastline of the Sea of Japan including its excellent seafood markets.
