Fukui Prefecture - Tsuruga City

Tsuruga, located in Fukui Prefecture, is a relatively lesser-known destination. However, it serves as both the starting and ending station of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, as well as the terminus for the Thunderbird Limited Express from Kyoto and Osaka to the Hokuriku region. This area is free from the crowds and noise of typical tourist spots, making it perfect for travelers who enjoy exploring new things on their own. Tsuruga is a small fishing village, and a visit to the port is highly recommended. The seafood here is fresh and affordable. After a satisfying meal, you can take a leisurely stroll back to the station. Along the way, there are many sights to enjoy, allowing you to savor the peaceful moments of walking alone. 🚂 Transportation: From Tokyo, Toyama, or Kanazawa, you can take the Hokuriku Shinkansen. From Kyoto or Osaka, the Thunderbird Limited Express is available. It is recommended to set aside an afternoon to wander through this tranquil fishing village.
