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
