Exploring an Abandoned Stone Mine in Japan’s Happiest Prefecture

Tokyo Creative Guide 7 months ago

Description

For the first time on Tokyo Creative, we’re visiting Fukui Prefecture, a place many travelers often pass by.

We begin our journey in Awara Onsen, a small hot spring town known for its warm hospitality and relaxed atmosphere.

Awara Onsen is an easy stop if you’re traveling along Japan’s Golden Route. Located close to Kanazawa, Kyoto, and the Alpine Route, it’s simple to add to your trip.
Instead of rushing through Fukui, consider staying for a night or two and enjoy a slower, more local side of Japan.
