Two-day and one-night treasure tour of Dinosaur County

Are you still worried about what to do in Japan? This hidden gem of Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit! Here is my 2-day tour guide for Fukui, write it down quickly~ 🗓Itinerary: [Fire]Day1: Tojinbo - Eiheiji - Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum [Sun] Tojinbo: This is a unique landform formed by sea erosion. The huge columnar jointed rocks stand on the seashore, which is super spectacular. Stroll along the coastline, listen to the sound of waves hitting the rocks, feel the wonders of nature, take beautiful photos, and create blockbuster movies in minutes. [Sun] Eiheiji Temple: One of the largest Zen temples in Japan, the temple architecture is simple and elegant, and the environment is quiet. Walking through it, you can feel a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere that makes people calm down. Remember to follow the temple rules. [Sun] Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum: A must-visit for dinosaur fans! There are a lot of dinosaur fossils and models here, showing all kinds of knowledge about dinosaurs, as well as an interactive experience area, which is very suitable for bringing children. The appearance of the museum is also unique, like a huge dinosaur egg. [Fire]Day2: Echizen Oono Castle - Awara Onsen Echizen Oono Castle: One of the 100 famous castles in Japan, the castle building is well preserved. Climbing up the tower, you can overlook the entire Ono City and learn a lot of historical stories about Japan's Warring States Period. [Sun] Awara Onsen: You must be tired after two days of fun, so take a dip in Awara Onsen. The hot spring water here is of very good quality, and there are many hot spring pools with different functions. After soaking in the hot springs, my whole body feels relaxed and I can sleep well at night. 🍲Food Recommendation Echizen crab: The Echizen crab in Fukui is delicious and plump. Whether it is steamed or made into hot pot, it is super delicious. A must-try! Mackerel sushi: A local specialty, the marinated mackerel is paired with soft and sticky rice for a unique taste. Fukui Ramen: Different from ramen in other places, Fukui ramen has its own characteristics, with chewy noodles and rich soup. 🛏Accommodation suggestions You can choose to live in Fukui City, where transportation is more convenient. If you like to soak in hot springs, you can also choose a hotel near Awara Hot Spring, which is more convenient. 📝Note tips: Japan's public transportation is relatively complicated. It is recommended to download relevant transportation apps in advance to facilitate the query of train schedules and routes. Please observe etiquette in places such as temples and do not make loud noises. When taking a hot spring bath, please be sure to follow the hot spring regulations, such as rinsing your body before taking a hot spring bath.
