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.

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.

A walking route around Fukui city centre, near Fukui station and the remains of Fukui castle (with the moat and modern office building). It is interesting to see where the old castle walls and moats used to be. The route goes around the Fukui castle moat, a nice walk often with different birds, fish, and turtles visible. See maps for all the places to visit, though visiting all in one go would require a lot of walking.
