Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum

Reviewed By KlapauciusJapan

Revisited after about 6 months since the last time. Have been here many times but always seem to find something I’ve missed before or something new added, and enjoy seeing the same exhibits again. Also, the special exhibition changes every few months. Well worth revisiting if you haven’t been for a while.

Tojimbo Cliff

Reviewed By G_Intl_Travel - Melbourne, Australia

This is a world wonder and I am surprised that the tour buses have not found their way here. This place is probably Japan’s best kept secret for the locals to enjoy and not open to too much foreign tourists. If you get a chance, do come for a day trip and enjoy the Sea of Japan, the beautiful cliffs, and the sea breeze. The picture below speaks wonders of this place.

Echizen Ono Castle

Reviewed By onocity - Fukui Prefecture, Japan

Here is a map for the route from VIO shopping mall to the view. You might see the castle in the sky between november and april from dawn to 9 am. Vio shopping mall is about 3 km far from JR Echizen-Ono station 40mn on foot.

Echizen Daibutsu

Located at the foothills of Mt. Hakusan, the Echizen Daibutsu is 17 meters tall, and watches over its home Katsuyama City. Although not visited as much as other “giant Buddhas,” the absence of large crowds adds to the feeling of zen one can experience while walking around the enormous complex. In the serenity of the main hall, visitors feel the quiet aura of the giant Buddha, flanked by nearly 1300 smaller Buddha statues set along the walls. Many of the smaller Buddha statues have “friendly” expressions that are quite uncommon in Japanese temples. “No two are alike” – so visitors might find one that looks similar to themselves.

7. Dinosaur Station at Fukui Station

Dinosaur Station at Fukui Station

Reviewed By worcesterwoman22

Life size dinosaur models in a landscaped area. The models move and roar. Short descriptions in English so that you know what is being interpreted by the display. Worth a look if you are near the station and a good photo opportunity.

8. Nihonkai Sakana Machi
