Fukui… Do you like it?

I went on a day trip to Fukui, the city of dinosaurs! 🦕 Fukui, a small city in Japan 🚌 I took the highway bus from Nagoya to Fukui. Bus reservations: highwaybus.com Travel time: Approximately 3 hours (with one rest stop along the way) Perhaps because Fukui is a city known for its abundant dinosaur fossils, everything from its iconic mascots to the dinosaur theme park felt like a place to visit. 😝 Since I was only visiting for a day, I took the Fukui City -> Tojinbo / Mikuni Sunset Beach 🏖️ route :) In this post, I'll share some must-see spots around Fukui Station. 😗 📍Dinosaur Square : Located right in front of Fukui Station, Dinosaur Square is a prime photo spot with moving dinosaurs, resembling a dinosaur theme park. 📸 📍Yashiro Shrine (Highly recommended) : A small but charming shrine! The omamori sold at this shrine are especially cute 🥹 I couldn't help but buy one >.< Also, since Fukui is the hometown of popular NCT WISH member Riku, the fans' pilgrimage moments were especially noteworthy ✨🥰 📍Fukui Castle Ruins (soso) : Do you really have to go just because there's a castle ruin? No, not really. 📍Yoroppagen (Main Branch) : The main branch of Yoroppagen, famous for its sauce tonkatsu! It's so popular that there's a wait even though it's only just opened. 🍖🩷 I ordered the ladies' set and was so, so, so satisfied~ 📍Yokokan Garden : Unfortunately, I couldn't go due to health issues 🥹, but many who have visited have been satisfied with the Yokokan Garden! (Admission fee applies) Recommended Route ‼️ : Fukui Station -> Yoroppagen Main Store -> Yashiro Shrine -> Fukui Castle Ruins -> Yokokan Garden -> Dinosaur Plaza Please note that this route took approximately 3 to 3.5 hours, with a stop at Tojinbo/Mikuni Sunset Beach. 🥰 Fukui Travel Tips: 1️⃣ If you're heading to Tojinbo/Mikuni Sunset Beach, be sure to stop by the Fukui Station Tourist Information Center! (Chargeable, restrooms available) 2️⃣ Explore the area around Fukui Station, home to a variety of Fukui souvenirs, dinosaur products, cafes, and restaurants. 3️⃣ Hot summers... Since there aren't many tall buildings, an umbrella is a must! 🌂 #JapaneseSmallCity #FukuiTravel #Fukui #fukui #Japan #NagoyaNearbyTravel
