Fukui is often overlooked by travellers heading to the Sea of Japan, but like other prefectures in Japan, it boasts a wealth of history and natural beauty.

As the gateway to the Hokuriku region, Fukui has historically been a crossroads for many important battles and trade routes in Japan. Join this tour and you will stroll alongside the castle and visit a temple that comprises buildings relocated from the former castle.

Enjoy a spectacular view of the modern city skyline from a hill with over a thousand years of history, and immerse yourself in an idyllic mountain setting as you visit one of the main temples of Zen Buddhism.
