Discovering Fukui by Shinkansen | japan-guide.com

[@leonscheuber1036]

Always love when a new Japan Guide video pops up.

[@japanguide]

Aww, thank you so much!

[@joeljenkins9424]

I love Fukui, I lived there for four months many years ago as a missionary. This video was great but could’ve included several other incredible places like Eiheiji and Tojinbo

[@japanguide]

Thank you for the nice comment! We are definitely planning to cover more of Fukui in future videos so we will be keeping these locations in mind :)

[@Vishwang]

One of the most nostalgic parts of the video were the bird sounds at the crossings!

[@swissfoodie3542]

Fukui looks really cool. Thanks for sharing less well know places with us. What I love in Japan, is the love for details - in museums, gardens, food, accommodation etc. This was shown on every place you visited in this short trip to Fukui.

[@japanguide]

Thank you for your really nice comment, we're glad you enjoyed the video!

[@ionelovegood]

Enjoyed your travel video again❤️ thank you for showing/introducing to us Fukui.

[@Murasaki.]

Thanks for sharing this Fukui video!

[@japanguide]

You're welcome!

I visited Fukui for 2 days in November 2023 - best prefecture I visited

[@lukasmihara]

Fukui is quite the hidden gem, It's often overlooked there between Kanazawa and Kyoto, but it has lots to offer - not only the beautiful places you showed but many other places, too. Surely worth another video or two :) I still remember I was in Fukui when the new Hokuriku Shinkansen opened the route to Kanazawa. Getting the Shinkansen all the way to Fukui felt like ages away. Now it's finally there! I'm looking forward to my next trip there for sure 🙂

[@japanguide]

Fukui truly does have a lot to offer indeed! Hope you will have a great trip there someday :)

[@cejannuzi]

It's a small prefecture, and is clearly split between its northern part and its southern part--very different cultures. It's like the place doesn't really 'cohere' like some other prefectures do. Overall, Ishikawa is more interesting. But it's nice to do the two prefectures together on a trip.

Great video. 😃 I hope to visit soon. Thank you for making this video. 😃 I am Patrick from Bethesda, Maryland, USA !!!

[@japanguide]

Thank you so much for your nice comment Patrick! And we hope you will get to visit Fukui some day soon!

Thanks for this wonderful video.

[@japanguide]

Thank YOU for your nice comment!

[@KellieLStimson]

Looks like Fukui will to added to an ever growing list.

[@whatthenihon]

Holy cow dinosaurs. That looked so awesome. I heard about the Shinkansen going there and I thought this would be an awesome place to try and get back to. I've only been to the beaches in the south. I had no idea about the dinosaurs. And considering what I've seen you guys eat over the past few years...hearing the words "this is the best meal of my life" isn't something I take lightly...it means Fukuii is jumping way up the list of places I must go... Crab is so good ...

[@japanguide]

Dinosaurs were AWESOME! And the izakaya dinner really was one of the highlights. Fukui definitely has a lot of beautiful gems, hope you will get to visit there someday! If you need any help preparing your future trip, here is a link to our Fukui page: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6600.html

[@whatthenihon]

Thank you so much!!!@@japanguide

[@supernatitube]

Awesome!

[@Stephen.Dawson]

Fantastic video 👍🏻

[@japanguide]

Thank you so much!

[@suikofujihashi7501]

とっても面白かったし、おいしそうだった！まさか、あの料理、レイナが全部食べたの？？？うらやましいです。どの場所も、映像と説明がよく合っていて、行く前から行った気になりました。本当に行くときも、こんなにきれいな風景が見られるといいな。いつもありがとう！

[@japanguide]

素敵なコメントありがとうございます！-raina

[@sawadakedavra4574]

please also visit Eiheiji Temple if you're headed to Fukui. It's a large temple construction with dozens of buildings. Just don't take pictures of monks if you go there

[@cejannuzi]

It's not that far from Ichijodani, and you can get to both places by highway bus from the Fukui station.

[@pbyfr]

Nice place. The museum is great, even for someone like me who isn't a dinosaur fan. Eiheiji also has some tourists, but Heisenji Hakusan and the Great Buddha were mostly empty. The only issue is that I needed a car. Even without shinkansen, Fukui is a nice day trip between Kanazawa and Kyoto.

[@JenniferNg0529]

I went to the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum earlier this month and I loved it! I want to go again, but it's such a hassle to travel there from Tokyo 😢

[@japanguide]

Thanks to the extended shinkansen it is now much less of a hassle: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6603.html

[@suliwa670]

The Daimyo's house is very nice. But I would be worried about ninjas coming across the lake at night. 😂

[@ryanmckayw]

This is perfect, I'm heading there this fall!

[@japanguide]

Oh great! Hope you will have a really nice trip there :)

[@kerri-annkumar5752]

Will you do a post on the rest of the hokuriku route?

[@Liz.zie.b]

Omg. How did i manage to miss this video? Was i too busy? Or something techie went wrong with the notification?

ZEN FUKUI CITY

[@wee-senchoo7025]

Hi Charly! And no castle in the sky - Echizen Ono Castle Raina?

[@japanguide]

Hi!! :D Unfortunately we could not cover all the beautiful spots in Fukui in just this 2 day trip (otherwise it would be too fast pace ahah). Definitely in a future video though! We do have info on all the popular sightseeing spots in Fukui on our website though: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6600.html -Charly

[@yanthykumaladewi6728]

I want to visit Fukui Prefectural museum on this July, could you inform me how to buy tiket from fukui prefectural website on detials, since I'm not japanese? Thank you for your video very helpfull

[@teratikkoanan7671]

You missed Echizen Daibutsu.

[@japanguide]

Indeed, Fukui has a lot of beautiful places that we could not cover in this 2 day itinerary. That leaves more places to cover for future videos :) However if it helps, we have details on all the popular sightseeing spots in Fukui on our website: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6600.html

[@nowgaku]

越前club(female one) is one of the best club for sure!

[@mirjaffar7115]

❤

[@Philmaster07]

should we as tourists be worried about the Strep A cases rising in Japan?

[@cejannuzi]

That comes and goes here. If you get it, go to a local clinic, they give you antibiotics in a drip. It's gone in hours. But best to get the IV for several days in a row to be sure.

[@pinkeu7537]

Aku penasaran dengan fukui karena RIKU NCT 😅

[@uchinan_chiburu]

these videos are good but waaaaay too short

[@stoneysage11]

Isn't Fukui known as the rudest city of Japan?! Not meant it as anything rude but most people go to be treated badly, That's what I was told by one of my friends

[@TheZenomeProject]

I imagine that what is considered rude to Japanese is almost comically polite everywhere else.

[@MonBriella]

not at all, i have been there and the people is friendly, i would recommend you to go to Echizen Ono Castle...one of the most beautiful castles i have seen in Japan

[@cejannuzi]

People in Fukui City can be kind of dark sometimes. Not friendly. I think the local politics are not so nice to a lot of people. The smaller cities like Takefu, Sabae, Ono etc. are often friendlier.

[@miyoshifw27]

Love this video espesially about Dino Museum. It would be amazing if you mentioned the price of the food, train tickets, entrance tickets and some souvenirs there. You know, so some of your loyal viewers can prepare how much to spend while traveling there Peace from Tochigi

[@japanguide]

Thank you so much for your nice comment, glad you enjoyed the video! Good point about the prices, however we avoid putting them in our videos because prices change very often and we cannot update the content of a video... However we do keep all the prices and transportation fares up to date on our website. Here is a link to the Fukui page where you can find all the detailed information: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6600.html
