Fukui Hidden Gems
Provincia de retiro espiritual y alta gastronomía en Hokuriku. El monasterio zen Eiheiji lleva 700 años formando monjes, los acantilados de basalto de Tojinbo desafían al mar de Japón, y el cangrejo echizen en invierno es el manjar supremo de la costa. Un tesoro escondido para viajeros con curiosidad.
