#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

We stayed at a private lodge called "Tenkei," located in a small coastal community called Iguramachi in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. Surrounded by quiet houses and fields, the lodge boasts a glass-walled facade and a spectacular view of the Sea of Japan. Time passed in luxury, with the only sound being the crashing waves. This former dormitory, the #FukuiHotel, was renovated and now only accepts one group per day, accommodating a maximum of six guests. The interior features a warm, wood-infused design, creating a simple yet cozy atmosphere. There are two bedrooms on the second floor, making it perfect for friends or families. Since we could use the kitchen, we bought local sashimi from a nearby shop and enjoyed dinner overlooking the ocean. The greatest draw of this lodge is the relaxed atmosphere, without having to worry about time. 📍Address: 38-2 Iguramachi, Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture About a 50-minute drive from Fukui Station. Renting a car is recommended. 🌿 Recommended Activities ・Check in early and enjoy a book or nap while gazing at the ocean. ・Purchase ingredients at the local supermarket and fishmonger and cook your own meals. ・Depending on the season, we recommend taking a walk along the coastline, where daffodils bloom. This is the perfect place for those who enjoy doing nothing, rather than focusing on sightseeing.

#summervacay My quest for the Expo stamp led me to the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum! Fukui might just be the most inconvenient place to reach for an Expo stamp, as it lacks an airport (Komatsu is the closest). Coming from Tokyo, the Shinkansen route is quite a detour, and from Osaka, you need to make transfers – it's a bit of a trek! The Journey & Arrival Even after reaching Fukui Station, the journey isn't over. You'll need to take a local train and then a bus, which adds another hour-plus to your single journey, passing through endless farmlands. However, once you arrive, it's a different story. It was my first time visiting a dinosaur museum, and I found it quite impressive and expansive. There are so many dinosaur fossils to see, which I found absolutely fascinating – it almost felt like stepping into the museum from Animal Crossing! If you're just looking for a quick look, about an hour and a half should be enough. The museum attracts a lot of families with children. Expo Stamp & Local Flair The Expo stamp is conveniently located at the ticket counter, and you don't need to buy an admission ticket just to get the stamp. It's clear that Fukui's main attraction is dinosaurs; you'll even spot many dinosaur displays right at the JR station! #Fukui #FukuiDinosaurMuseum #Dinosaur #JapanTravel #ExpoStamp
