Fukui is one of the least-visited cities in Japan, but those who make the effort to come here will be pleasantly surprised to find that it's a true hidden gem. Located on Honshu Island, it's surrounded by wonderful attractions like the ancient Maruoka Castle, the unique and breathtaking Tojinbo Cliffs, and the Eiheiji temple complex, an important center of Zen Buddhism. The area is also known for the incredible number of dinosaur fossils that have been found here, and if you're interested in this aspect of its history, the Dinosaur Museum is a must-see as well.
