They also gave us plenty of time to take photos, so we had an absolute blast🤩👌 In the waiting area, there's a shop selling a wide variety of souvenirs, which I highly recommend checking out✨✨ They even had sushi and fresh fish, so grabbing a bite to eat there is a great idea too🙆🙆⛱️　 Hope you have a fantastic time☺️

The Little Mermaid Statue in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, is a bronze statue quietly standing on the calm shores of Wakasa Bay. It was installed to commemorate the sister city affiliation with Copenhagen, Denmark, and was modeled after the original Little Mermaid statue. Denmark is the homeland of Andersen, the author of the fairy tale "The Little Mermaid," and Obama is a port city that has long lived alongside the sea. The Little Mermaid statue was donated in the 1990s as a symbol of the connection between these two places. Her gentle figure, sitting quietly in the sea breeze, is somehow gentle and soothing to the souls of those who see it. The surrounding area is home to Mermaid Beach and a promenade, making it a popular walking spot for locals. On sunny days, the silhouette of the Little Mermaid against the blue sea is a beautiful sight, making it a recommended photo spot. 📌 Useful Information Address: 1-chome Kawasaki, Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, 917-0081 (near Mermaid Beach) Access: Approximately 15 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by car from JR Obama Station Viewing Time: Self-guided Parking: Available (Free) The Little Mermaid quietly gazes out at the ocean on the Obama beach.

#summervacay I might just be the first person to share how to get to Wakasa Myōtsū-ji using public transport! Who would have thought that from Tsuruga, I'd spend 2 hours, take a community bus that only runs twice on Saturdays, and venture deep into a rural valley to see the Myōtsū-ji Triple Pagoda and Main Hall, standing proudly for 800 years? (Pro tip: if you have the live photos, turn on the sound for an even better experience!) Having visited Japan numerous times, I'm always seeking more meaningful and unique experiences. My interest in Japan's National Treasure architecture led me to explore Myōtsū-ji, the only National Treasure in Fukui Prefecture. Located in Obama City, in the ancient Wakasa Province, I couldn't find clear public transport directions on Xiaohongshu. Embracing the motto "the brave enjoy the world first," I prepared for the worst-case scenario of walking and decided to investigate using the community bus. History of Myōtsū-ji (明通寺): Myōtsū-ji was founded in 806 by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, the Seii Taishōgun, during his tour of the Hokuriku region. While its early history is unclear, the existing Main Hall and Triple Pagoda were constructed during the mid-Kamakura period (China's Southern Song Dynasty) by the restorer priest, Raizen. The Main Hall (本堂): A Kamakura Masterpiece Completed in 1265 (images 2-5), the Main Hall is built on a stone foundation. It features an irimoya-zukuri (hipped and gabled) roof covered with cypress bark (hiwadabuki). The roof and the eaves at its corners display characteristic Kamakura-period architectural traits. One side of the Main Hall's facade is entirely made up of doors and windows, giving it a residential appearance. While based on traditional Japanese temple architecture, its internal structure incorporates Zen Buddhist elements, giving the interior a distinct medieval Buddhist hall feel. It was an incredible journey to witness such a significant piece of Japanese history and architecture! #WakasaMyotsuji #Fukui #ObamaCity #NationalTreasure #JapanArchitecture #HistoricTemples #KamakuraPeriod #JapaneseHistory #OffTheBeatenPath #PublicTransportAdventure #TravelJapan

1. Book your tickets early during long holidays! → It's highly recommended to purchase tickets early at Fisherman's Wharf. You can also shop for souvenirs and enjoy lunch there! 2. Don't judge Suzu-no-mon solely by itself! On the way to Suzu-no-mon, you can see turtle-shaped rocks and beautiful ocean views. 3. Sit as close to the front as possible! The sound of the boat can make it hard to hear the onboard announcements. 4. Fukui has very strong sunlight, so if you're visiting in summer, make sure to use sunscreen and take proper precautions! (Using a parasol on the boat might be considered bothersome.)

#springitinerary · *Location:** Aoshima Island, Ehime, Japan · -- ### **🐾 Arriving in Cat Heaven** The moment I stepped off the ferry onto **Aoshima Island**, I knew I was in for something special. A fluffy tabby stretched lazily on the wooden dock, barely acknowledging my arrival—just another human visitor in a long line of cat pilgrims. This tiny island, **barely 1.6 km in circumference**, is famously home to **over 120 cats** and only a handful of elderly residents. Abandoned houses, overgrown paths, and the occasional meow in the distance made it feel like I’d wandered into a **real-life Studio Ghibli film**. · -- ### **🚢 The Journey to Aoshima** Getting here was half the adventure! From **Matsuyama**, I took a local train to **Nagahama Station**, then a short walk to **Nagahama Port**. The **30-minute ferry ride** (¥680 one-way) was serene, with views of the **Seto Inland Sea**—a perfect prelude to the island’s slow, quiet charm. · *Pro Tip:** Ferries run only **twice a day** (check schedules in advance!), so I made sure not to miss the last one back! · -- ### **😻 Meeting the Feline Overlords** As soon as I set foot on land, cats appeared **everywhere**—lounging on benches, peeking from doorways, even napping inside abandoned houses. Unlike tourist-heavy cat cafes, these kitties were **free-spirited**, some friendly, some aloof, all living their best island life. I brought a bag of **dry cat treats** (human food is a no-no), and within minutes, I had a **purring entourage** following me around. A bold calico even hopped onto my lap as I sat on an old stone step—bliss! · -- ### **🏡 Exploring the Island’s Quiet Magic** Aoshima isn’t just about cats—it’s a **time capsule of old Japan**. With no shops, restaurants, or crowds, the island feels frozen in time. I wandered: · **Past weathered wooden houses**, some crumbling, others still inhabited by the island’s few elderly residents. · **Along quiet coastal paths**, where cats sunbathed on fishing nets. · **To Aoshima Shrine**, a small, mossy shrine where a black cat seemed to be the guardian. The **only sounds** were waves, wind, and the occasional meow. No cars, no city noise—just peace. · -- ### **📸 Photo Diary: A Day in Cat Paradise** 1. **The Dock Greeter** – A fluffy orange cat sitting proudly at the ferry landing. 2. **The Nap Brigade** – A row of cats snoozing on a sun-warmed bench. 3. **Abandoned Beauty** – A crumbling house with a cat perched in the window. 4. **Beachside Bliss** – A tabby watching the sea, tail flicking in the breeze. --- ### **⚠️ Important Tips for Visiting** ✅ **Bring cat treats** (dry food only) to make furry friends. ✅ **Pack snacks & water**—there are **no stores or vending machines** on the island. ✅ **Respect the cats & residents

Three consecutive reviews of Wakasa Yoshihi's rooms! ! Personally, this room is the most recommended. A luxurious room with a view of Wakasa Bay from the third floor, both from the room and from the bath. There is also a room at the back, from which you can see the old townscape of Obama 📸 The lounge that everyone can use has coffee, soft drinks, alcohol, and popsicles, making your stay even more elegant ♪ From the official website A suite room on the third floor, renovated from a former large public bath building. The view of Wakasa Bay spreads out from the window, and the counter and sofa that make use of the steps of the former bath make you feel as if you are surrounded by the sea. The bath where you can bathe while looking out at the sea is an infinity bath where the water surface and the sea surface seem to be connected. You can relax as if you are soaking in the sea. Not only is the morning glow beautiful, but in the evening, the crimson sky dyes the plaster-painted room, making it a room where you will want to spend time slowly waiting for the changes in nature.

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈︎Fukui𓂃 𓈒𓏸Obama City Obama Machiya Stay "Sanchomachi Nagata" A decentralized hotel that renovates and utilizes old houses that have remained since ancient times, centered around Obama City's Important Traditional Building Preservation District OBAMA MACHIYA STAY currently consists of 8 buildings. Actually, I stayed at Sanchomachi Sanoya two years ago, and I liked the modern appearance that retained a moderate Japanese atmosphere and the renovated design in a modern style, so I stayed there for the second time. This time, I went to the neighboring Sanchomachi Nagata. Even though they are the same hotel, the structure and the purpose of the accommodation in the past are different depending on the accommodation, so it was a fresh feeling. Sanchomachi Nagata is loved as a restaurant, and it seems that it used to be bustling with banquets and entertainment, inviting geisha. The interior features an uneven floor called a "naguri-doko" (a floor made by skilled craftsmen), and a distinctive "ajiro-e" (a wooden lattice ceiling) with an intricate design and construction. While retaining vestiges of the original, the bathroom and kitchen have been cleaned and renovated to be comfortable to spend time in.However, in terms of the structure of the house? It gets pretty cold on the first floor, so it was a relief to have slippers 🥹🥹 lol Since it's a rental of the whole building, you can relax in a spacious space without worrying about the people around you◎ It seems to still be used as a cafe during the day, so I'd like to go there next time 🍽️𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄︎𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official website 14 Katori, Obama, Obama City, Fukui Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #Travelingwithme #Fukui #TriptoFukui #TourisminFukui #OldhouseHotel

The thick walls are plastered and the solid wood used for the pillars and beams gives a sense of the prosperity of the Kitamae-bune at that time, and it is also registered as a national tangible cultural property. Designed by Kansai's leading architect, Yoshiji Takehara, you can spend a luxurious and extraordinary time in a beautiful and comfortable space that makes use of the historical value of the building.

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈︎Fukui𓂃 𓈒𓏸Obama City Hashisho Seiwa Actually, Obama City in Fukui Prefecture is the number one producer of chopsticks in Japan. The chopsticks made here using the "Wakasa-nuri" lacquerware technique are famous. 🥢 It is said that more than 400 years ago, in the early Edo period, a lacquerer for the Obama Domain was inspired by Chinese lacquerware and designed them with the beautiful seabed of Obama Bay in mind. Of course, it's nice to buy chopsticks as a souvenir, but since I'm traveling, I thought I'd make my own chopsticks in Obama, which boasts the highest production in Japan, and when I looked into it, I found "Hashisho Seiwa". You can experience sharpening chopsticks for just 400 yen per pair! I was surprised that it was a bargain at less than 500 yen😲 The whole thing takes less than 30 minutes, so it's nice that you can experience it quickly ① Choose your favorite chopsticks from 6 colors ② Place the chopsticks on a machine called a grinder Just by doing this, a pattern will appear, but the pattern that appears will differ depending on how you place the grinder✨ It looks easy but it's surprisingly difficult lol First you watch a video and then try it, but the shop staff will be nearby so you can create it while asking questions◎ Point👇・The parking lot is large and easy to park in, and there are plenty of tools to try, so it doesn't seem like it will be crowded!・I made a reservation online in advance📱※I went on a Monday and it was fully booked𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓐄𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇From the official website 9:00-17:00 ︎𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇From the official website 6-2 Ryuzen, Obama City, Fukui Prefecture𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #Travelingwithme #Fukui #TriptoFukui #SightseeinginFukui

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈︎Fukui𓂃 𓈒𓏸Obama City Santomachi Koshindo Santomachi in Obama is famous as a filming location for morning dramas. There's an area that preserves the old streetscape. It used to be a town for merchants, lined with inns and restaurants. While strolling through these quaint streets, you'll notice the Koshindo, where many "substitute monkeys" hang, a traditional talisman used to ward off evil. These "substitute monkeys" are said to represent the messengers of the principal deity, the Shomen Kongo statue. 🫣 They looked like the "tied monkeys" at Yasaka Koshindo in Kyoto. 🥺✨ The air was so clear and refreshing during my morning stroll! 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #Sakura2024 #Fukui #FukuiTrip #FukuiTourism #ObamaCity

#cherryblossom2024 A treasure trove hidden in the hills Metsu-ji is a beautiful temple of the Shingon School in the hills of the city of Obama. It was built in 806 by the military ruler Sakanoue Tamuramaro, who had long dreamed of erecting a temple here. The main hall and the three-storey pagoda were created during the Kamakura period. There are many real treasures in the temple. How to get there It takes about 10 minutes by taxi from JR Obama Station to Metsu-ji. Hidden germs The main hall and the three—storey pagoda of the temple are incredible works of architecture with more than 1200 years of history. There are many Buddha statues in both buildings. Four of them are recognized as national treasures. Both these and the colorful frescoes inside the pagoda can be seen only a few times a year when the building is ventilated. Four seasons The serene atmosphere of Metsu-ji owes much to the beauty of nature around. A walk through the temple grounds is almost a trip to a fairyland. Every season is beautiful in its own way: Sakura blooms in spring, in summer the trees are dressed in lush greenery, in autumn — in red and yellow, and in winter everything is covered with white snow.
