  • A swimming beach that draws visitors from inside and outside Fukui; people also come from early morning for marine sports such as windsurfing.
  • Natural sites may have few facilities. Bring water, a travel prayer mat and a qibla app, and check the weather; mountains and lakes can be much colder than the city.
