About Fukui Prefecture
Fukui Prefecture is part of Japan's Honshu island, bordering the Sea of Japan. Rock formations like the Tōjinbō cliffs dot its coastline. Katsuyama city has a prominent dinosaur museum, while Sakai city's Maruoka Castle dates to 1576. Ichijōdani Asakura Family Historic Ruins are the partially reconstructed remains of a 16th-century clan village. Immersed in a cedar forest is Eihei-ji, a Sōtō Zen temple.
