[2025 Fukui Attraction] Travel Guide for Dinosaur Square (Updated Jun)

In the square in front of the west exit of JR Fukui Station, a moving dinosaur monument has been set up, as many dinosaur fossils have been excavated in Fukui Prefecture. Also, the wall of the west exit of JR Fukui is wrapped in dinosaur illustrations, which is amazing! Dinosaur trick art, monuments of dinosaurs sitting on benches, and more - dinosaurs are everywhere! The whole prefecture is promoting Fukui as the "Dinosaur Kingdom"♪ There is a dinosaur museum in Katsunuma City, so I also recommend that 🫵#dinosaur

Fukui Station is truly the gateway to "Dinosaur Kingdom Fukui." From the moment you step off the train, you'll feel as if you've wandered into Jurassic Park. 🦖 Fukui Station West Exit: Dinosaur Plaza and Moving Dinosaurs At the "Dinosaur Plaza" near the west exit, life-sized monuments of newly discovered dinosaurs from Fukui—"Fukuiraptor," "Fukuisaurus," and "Fukuititan"—welcome visitors. These dinosaurs are equipped with mechanisms that allow them to move and roar between 9 AM and 9 PM, offering an impressive experience. Additionally, the west exit features a 5.6-meter-tall, 12-meter-long Tyrannosaurus robot that reacts to passersby and moves accordingly. 🦕 Fukui Station East Exit: Parent-Child Triceratops and Playground The east exit is home to an 8-meter-long parent Triceratops and its child monument, making it a popular spot for families. There's also a "Dinosaur Playground" scattered with smaller dinosaur monuments like Ankylosaurus and Spinosaurus, where children can touch and take photos. 🦴 Dinosaur Content Inside and Around the Station Inside Fukui Station, a large LED vision column displays 3D footage of a Tyrannosaurus leaping out, providing a thrilling visual experience. On the rooftop plaza of the Fukui City Tourism Exchange Center, you'll find monuments themed around family love, including a pair of Fukuititan dinosaurs and baby dinosaurs. Around the station, there are plenty of attractions for dinosaur enthusiasts, such as life-sized replicas of dinosaur footprint fossils and a massive mural depicting dinosaurs (approximately 45 meters wide and 10 meters tall). Fukui Station and its surroundings are packed with must-see spots for dinosaur lovers. Once you step off the train, be sure to enjoy your encounters with these prehistoric creatures.

Do you like dinosaurs? I wasn't a big fan, but I went on a trip to Fukui the other day. I stayed at a hotel in front of Fukui Station. Nearby, I passed a square full of dinosaur sculptures 🦕🦖 both in the morning and at night. They were so realistic I was impressed. They really had an impact, as if they weren't done half-heartedly. It's also in the middle of the city, so it's somehow surreal. I took this photo at night when it was raining a little, and the fantastic atmosphere made me want to take it! I recommend that everyone go there at least once!! In fact, these dinosaurs can make noises!! Their roars are so real!!! Even though my companion said, 'It's scary to see it at night, it's too realistic...', I was impressed because it was like Jurassic Park! I was fascinated by the dinosaurs moving and making noises all the time 😌🦕 I fell in love with dinosaurs ❤️ 🕰️Business hours: 24 hours 📍Location: In front of Fukui Station #Domestic travel #Fukui trip #Dinosaur Square #0 yen trip February 2025

Fukui has one of the world's top 3 dinosaur museums, but it takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes to get off at the station, so many people are a little worried. In that case, I recommend Fukui Station. Although it's not comparable to a museum, there are many dinosaur sculptures in front and behind the station, and especially near the bus stop, there are moving dinosaurs that are really cool. If you have a chance to pass by, I highly recommend it!! The souvenir shop inside the station is quite large, so it's also worth a look. #Fukui #Dinosaur
