Sabae's glasses are delicate glasses made by Japan's proud glasses craftsmen, but to be honest, when I visited Sabae for the first time, I thought I'd never seen such a unique town! There's nothing in particular, but there's nothing but glasses (lol) Looking back, it's interesting to think that it was a hit. I've been a glasses user for a long time, so I have a strong attachment to glasses, but I never thought of turning the whole town into glasses. I visited Sabae because I wanted to visit the Glasses Museum, but it was a town dominated by glasses. #Sabae #GlassesMuseum #Fukui #0YenTripAutumn 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 (closed on Wednesdays) 💰Price per person: Free admission

Japan is one of the three largest eyeglass production areas in the world, along with Italy and China. 96% of eyeglasses produced in Japan come from Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture✨ I learned about the history of eyeglasses at the Sabae Eyeglasses Museum🤓 Everything in the museum, from the parking lot to the object at the entrance and the toilet signs, promotes eyeglasses. There was also an experience of making your own eyeglasses. You might already be wearing Sabae eyeglasses, which Japan is proud of, without even knowing it? . . 📍Eyeglasses Museum 🗺️Fukui, Japan 🕑10:00-19:00 💤Wednesday 💰 – #Furitabi #Museum #DomesticTravel

I love watching live music, and this time, when I went to see a live performance at Sandome Fukui, I took a walk along "Glasses Street" that continues from JR Sabae Station. Glasses, glasses, glasses everywhere!!! Did you know that 95% of Japanese eyeglass frames are currently made in Fukui City and Sabae City? 💭 This idea was born because the area was buried in snow in winter during the Meiji period. Masunaga Gozaemon and his brother Kohachi wanted to improve the lives of their hometown, so they started making glasses as a way to earn money during the winter farming off-season. Then, as movable type became more widespread, the demand for glasses increased, and Japanese glasses are still loved all over Japan and the world today. There were unique glasses-themed decorations all over the sidewalks, and I felt like I was looking for hidden Mickeys🤤 (lol) The whole town was well-maintained and very clean, so it was perfect for a walk on a sunny day. Why not take a stroll around the area? #domestictravel #Fukui #girlstrip #solotravel #Sabae #walk #stroll #instagrammable #photogenic 📍Hinode 1-2, Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture
