Urban resort Echizen. Each room has a different concept, such as Asian, surf, natural, etc. I stayed in the Surf room, which has a sea theme. The room is composed of the first floor, the second floor, and the attic bedroom. The ocean-themed room has very stylish accessories and interior, and it felt like living in a cottage overseas. The jacuzzi is wonderful. It's a blissful moment to relax while looking at the beautiful sea of ​​Fukui. It feels like being on the beach in America. What I like most about this cottage is the bedroom 💛. The sea spreads out in front of you. I woke up in the morning, looked at the sea, and got up slowly. I was very happy. It was also fully equipped with hot plates and plates, so it was good to be able to cook meals at home during the COVID-19 period. This inn allows you to experience as if you had purchased a nice cottage villa and were living there. The interior and structure were sure to capture the hearts of girls. I'd love to stay in the other rooms too. #luxuryhotel #coupletrip #fukui #gw2022jp

Introducing a wonderful spot I visited during my solo trip! Here’s the place I’d like to introduce this time! ───────────────────── ⚫︎Yukian Kameya 〒915-0847 27-37 Higashisenpuku-cho, Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture Closed: Thursdays ───────────────────── Just a 6-minute drive from Takefu Station! Let me introduce you to a soba restaurant that serves the famous local delicacy of Echizen City, "Oroshi Soba," which is highly praised by locals. Echizen City in Fukui Prefecture is renowned for its soba noodles. Among them, "Oroshi Soba" is particularly famous. This dish is made by combining the local specialty vegetable, spicy grated daikon radish, with dipping sauce. The sharp spiciness of the radish pairs perfectly with the thick hand-made soba noodles! At Yukian Kameya, you can enjoy especially spicy grated daikon radish. This spiciness is sharp and pungent, similar to wasabi, and it’s so addictive that I’ve visited several times myself 🤤 (It also pairs wonderfully with sake◎◎). The tempura is also large, fresh, and juicy 🍆🌽🍤. I recommend ordering the Oroshi Soba and tempura as a set 🌟. Since it’s a popular spot, I suggest going early! If you’re visiting Echizen City in Fukui Prefecture, be sure to stop by~~♡

Volga Rice at Yokogawa Branch @ Echizen City We headed to this popular Western restaurant in front of Takefu Station in search of Volga Rice, one of Echizen's three great delicacies. Located on a side street leading to a shrine, this Western restaurant retains a retro exterior but boasts a stylish interior. Volga Rice is a local delicacy originating in Takefu, consisting of a fluffy omelet rice wrapped in egg, topped with a bold pork cutlet and drizzled with a special demi-glace sauce. The sauce is rich yet perfectly balanced between sour and sweet, creating a perfect harmony with the crispy cutlet and soft-boiled egg.

Echizen Soba no Sato @ Echizen City: Premium Grated Daikon Soba Desiring to sample authentic Echizen soba, I headed to Echizen Soba no Sato, a tourist hub in Echizen City. Attached to a souvenir shop, the spacious interior is a popular stop for groups and tour buses, truly reminiscent of an "Echizen soba theme park." It also houses a noodle factory, where you can experience soba making and even buy it directly from the shop. Though I arrived five minutes before opening, there was already a line of about 20 people. Thanks to the spaciousness of the restaurant, I was able to enter on the first round and was shown to a cozy hearth-style seating area. Naturally, I ordered the signature "Premium Grated Daikon Soba." The soba noodles served were thick, rustic, with a rich aroma and a chewy texture. Topped with generous amounts of spicy grated daikon radish, the refreshing spiciness of the soy sauce-flavored broth really brought the dish together. The more I ate, the more refreshing it became, and I finished it in no time. As expected, eating Echizen Oroshi Soba in its original place was exceptional. The only regret was that I couldn't order a large portion. The perfection of the dish made me wish I could have enjoyed more of it. This soba restaurant represents Echizen City, and is highly satisfying for both tourists and everyday use. #EchizenSobaSato #EchizenSoba
