Ichijodani Asakura Family Museum

The permanent exhibit contains many sculptures by Hiroatsu Takata, but special exhibits are the biggest draw. Check to see what will be featured during your visit to determine if it's worth your time to visit.

Though overshadowed by the famous onsen in Awara, Gokurakuyu is a large onsen complex in Fukui city, and a great place to relax. It has an outdoor bathing area, sauna, super-jet baths, electric baths, and a bed of heated gems/jewels that you lie down on. Japanese-style massages available for an additional fee.

A small but scenic strolling garden.

The castle was built in 1606 by Yuki Hideyasu after he was given control of the province as thanks for siding with the victors in the Battle of Sekigahara. The castle name (as well as the city and prefecture) comes from a lucky well (福の井) which you can still visit today on the castle grounds. The castle has some well-preserved walls and moat but none of the buildings remain. The prefectural office is located within the ruins where parts of the castle once stood, but visitors are free to roam the grounds outside of the prefectural office.

Contains interesting displays on the history of the local area from early civilizations to its days as a castle town to the bombings in WWII.
