The 23rd marks one week since the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Kanazawa and Tsuruga. Sightseeing spots in Fukui Prefecture are crowded with tourists.
Despite the rainy weather on the 23rd, many tourists visited the Ichijodani Asakura Clan Ruins, a special national historic site. The nearby Ichijo Asakura Ruins Museum celebrates the opening by selling traditional crafts such as Echizen cutlery, as well as local specialties such as bento boxes.
