Urban resort Echizen. Each room has a different concept, such as Asian, surf, natural, etc. I stayed in the Surf room, which has a sea theme. The room is composed of the first floor, the second floor, and the attic bedroom. The ocean-themed room has very stylish accessories and interior, and it felt like living in a cottage overseas. The jacuzzi is wonderful. It's a blissful moment to relax while looking at the beautiful sea of ​​Fukui. It feels like being on the beach in America. What I like most about this cottage is the bedroom 💛. The sea spreads out in front of you. I woke up in the morning, looked at the sea, and got up slowly. I was very happy. It was also fully equipped with hot plates and plates, so it was good to be able to cook meals at home during the COVID-19 period. This inn allows you to experience as if you had purchased a nice cottage villa and were living there. The interior and structure were sure to capture the hearts of girls. I'd love to stay in the other rooms too. #luxuryhotel #coupletrip #fukui #gw2022jp

✵ Fukui Prefecture 2024.02 ＼Recommended Spot in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture／ I visited the beautiful mirror art at 'Takefu Knife Village,' which will make you wonder if it's really made of knives! This place actually has workshops and shops for 'Echizen Uchihamono,' a traditional craft of Echizen with a 700-year history! The knife-made objects each have different designs, and I was captivated by them💎✨ 📷Taken in February 2024 📍Takefu Knife Village, Fukui Prefecture 🚗About 30 minutes by car from Fukui Station

Did you know that there is a temple in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, also known as the Cat Temple? Gotanjoji Temple is a Soto Zen temple located in the quiet mountains of Shoda Town, Echizen City. It has a solemn temple atmosphere, but in fact it protects and raises more than 50 abandoned and injured cats. Of course, there are many cats, which is soothing, but what surprised me was that even the Buddha statues had cats on them. They are so cute that I couldn't stop taking photos. They also have maneki-neko fortune-telling slips, cat goshuin books, and goshuin stamps full of cats, so they are recommended as souvenirs! #Domestic Travel Record

"Echizen Washi" is made in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture. It has a history of over 1500 years and is known as the highest quality washi paper for its beauty and durability.

During my trip to Echizen City in Fukui, I visited O-edo+ (Oedo Plus) ☕️ This is a sushi cafe run by a long-established sushi restaurant founded in 1953 🍣 The interior has a stylish atmosphere with a white theme 💅 You can also purchase sweets for takeout, but the recommended item here is, of course, sushi 🍣 The sushi, which looks like temari sushi, has separate toppings and rice, allowing you to combine them as you like. Additionally, the rice and condiments are colored, making it visually appealing 🩷 It's a bit pricey, but it's a cafe you should definitely visit ✨

Takefu Knife Village is a place where Echizen Uchihamono, a knife with a history of 700 years, is manufactured and sold. Of course, you can buy knives, but it is a rare industrial tourism facility in Japan where you can watch blacksmiths and sharpeners at work for free! And the photo spot at the back of the store is recommended. Using a mirror, you can take a photo of countless knives pointing at you. It is not a very large facility, so you can look around quickly. #DomesticTravelRecord

"Echizen City is the place where Murasaki Shikibu, the author of The Tale of Genji, lived away from the capital only once in her life. It is said that she visited there with her father, Fujiwara Tametoki, who became the governor of Echizen Province, and spent over a year there. Murasaki Shikibu Park, created to commemorate this, is a rare Shinden-style garden in Japan, and was created based on precise historical research, allowing you to experience the elegant world depicted in Heian picture scrolls in real size."

15 minutes by car from Fukui Prefecture, just below Sabae Station. In Echizen City, famous for crabs, there are cafes and restaurants in a storehouse that has been there since the Edo period.
