ENJOY FUKUI
Artisanal Excellence and Traditional Scenery
Fukui is home to a rich heritage of craftsmanship, preserved and practiced by thriving artisan communities in areas like Echizen. Get up close and see artisans from a local industry hard at work, forging and grinding knives by hand. Create your own one-of-a-kind souvenirs through family-friendly hands-on workshops, using a hammer to engrave keyring charms, or even choose from various kinds of knives to make. Afterward, explore a vast, green valley where a city once stood, centuries ago—or visit a park with a traditional Japanese garden, a thatched-roof house, and beautiful flowers that bloom throughout the year.
