The Hidden Gem with Epic Views

#springitinerary Echizen Ono Castle is one of those places that feels like a hidden treasure. Tucked away in the mountains of Fukui Prefecture, this castle isn’t as well-known as others, but it’s definitely worth the visit. The castle tower sits on top of a hill, giving you some seriously stunning views of the surrounding countryside, especially during the fall when the leaves change color. The castle itself is pretty cool, it’s small but packed with history and has that classic, traditional Japanese castle vibe. You can climb to the top for an even better view, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it a great spot for a relaxed afternoon. The area around the castle is also full of charm, with old streets and a few temples to explore. If you’re looking for a more off-the-beaten-path castle experience, Echizen Ono is the perfect mix of history, nature, and serenity.
