FUKUI JAPAN
Fukui Prefecture Outline
Fukui prefecture is located near the center of the Japan Sea Coast, with Tsuruga City’s eastern section dividing the northern Reihoku area (formerly called Echizen) from the southern Reinan area (formerly called Wakasa).
Fukui prefecture has four distinct seasons with winter’s north-westerly winds bringing heavy precipitation, making her a very moist place blessed with abundant water resources. Additionally, with her entire coastline being designated a quasi-national park our Fukui is truly one prefecture but many lands, a place of myriad natural wonders.
