One of the most popular natural spots in Fukui, the Tojinbo Cliffs run along the coast of the Sea of Japan. It’s thought that this rough 1km patch of coastline was formed by a volcanic eruption. Over 12 million years ago, and the effects are quite unique.
The basalt rock juts out seaward, with naturally-formed hexagonal and pentagonal pillars of stone which can only be seen into other places worldwide. Walking along the Tojinbo Cliffs can be quite arduous, with bluffs reaching 30 meters high and deep chasms with the splashing sea. In fact, it’s said that this spot got its name from that of a monk who slipped and fell from its heights.
If that story triggered your fear of heights just from reading it, then maybe you should appreciate the rugged beauty of the area by sea instead. Cruises last about half an hour and offer a totally different perspective on the towering rocks as the boat weaves its way between them.

东寻坊是福井最受欢迎的自然景点之一，它位于日本海沿岸。据说，这片 1 公里长的崎岖海岸线是由火山爆发形成的。火山爆发距今已有 1200 多万年，其影响非常独特。
玄武岩向海突出，自然形成的六角形和五角形石柱，只有在世界其他地方才能看到。沿东神坊悬崖峭壁行走会相当艰难，悬崖高达 30 米，深谷中海水飞溅。事实上，据说这个地方的名字来源于一位从高处滑落的僧侣。
如果光看这个故事就会让您产生恐高症，那么也许您应该从海上欣赏这里的险峻美景。游船的航程约为半小时，当游船在高耸的岩石间穿梭时，您可以从完全不同的角度欣赏这些岩石。

这片独特的海岸线因一位僧侣从其边缘跌落而得名--如今，这里已成为探险一日游的绝佳去处。

Located on the west coast of central Japan, you’ll find Fukui to the north of Kyoto and Shiga Prefectures. The beautiful, rugged coastline is peppered with fishing towns and villages which harvest deliciously sweet prawns and pricey snow crabs which are prized around the country. 

The capital city that shares its name is separated from the coast by mountains, located in a mountain-flanked valley once ruled by a branch of the formidable Matsudaira Clan. Their domain, known as Echizen, nowadays comprises the northern portion of the prefecture. This land has birthed some fantastic delicacies over the years, including some delectable varieties of soba noodles, and world-class seafood.

If you’re at all interested in Japanese history, then you really should visit Fukui at some point. Here you can explore the gardens of the Matsudaira Clan — Yokokan Gardens — a beautiful spot seemingly suspended in time, and in the city of Sakai you’ll find Maruoka Castle, which dates back to 1576. 

If a few centuries of history aren’t enough to tickle your fancy, then how about a few dozen million? If you head to Katsuyama, you’ll find one of the world’s best dinosaur museums (the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum), which features world-class paleontology exhibits sure to capture the imagination of families, academics, and amateur Indiana Joneses alike.

福井位于日本中部西海岸，在京都府和滋贺县的北面。美丽而崎岖的海岸线上遍布着渔村和渔镇，这里盛产鲜甜可口的对虾和价格昂贵的雪蟹，是全国各地的珍品。 

与其同名的首府城市与海岸线隔山相望，坐落在山谷中，曾经由强大的松平家族的一个分支统治。他们的领地被称为越前（Echizen），如今包括县的北部。多年来，这片土地孕育了许多美味佳肴，包括各种美味的荞麦面和世界一流的海鲜。

如果您对日本历史感兴趣，那就一定要去福井看看。在这里，您可以游览松平藩的庭园--横贯庭园（Yokan Gardens）--一个仿佛悬浮在时间长河中的美丽景点；在堺市，您还可以看到丸冈城（Maruoka Castle），其历史可追溯到 1576 年。 

如果几个世纪的历史还不足以勾起您的兴趣，那么几十万年的历史又如何呢？如果您前往胜山，您会发现世界上最好的恐龙博物馆之一（福井县立恐龙博物馆），这里有世界一流的古生物展品，一定会吸引家庭、学者和业余夺宝奇兵的想象力。

福井是日本禅宗的精神中心之一，也是高端海鲜美食的集散地，是前往京都或大阪旅游的绝佳目的地。

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration.

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.

If you think you’ve had great crab before, think again. Kawaki takes it to another level. They only serve boiled crabs, which they begin cooking two hours prior to your arrival to ensure prime temperature and texture. Expect to wait around thirty minutes or so after sitting down while they finish the final preparations.

The Echizen crab which they serve is native to this particular part of Japan’s north coast, as the waters have the optimal temperature and conditions for them to thrive. The species was dedicated to the imperial family in 1909 on account of its famously delicious flavor. Nowadays, many members of Japan’s high society travel to Kawaki to sample this delicacy at the source.

Your meal will be priced according to the size of your crab. For an extra layer of luxury, try the zubo gani: a crab that has recently shed its shell. The dish is considered a rare delicacy, as the
