Chirihama Beach as long as 8 km between Chirihama IC and Imahama IC of 'Noto Satoyama Kaido Sea Road' in Ishikawa. Its the only road in Japan, where we can drive a car on the sandy beach. I like the time during the sun setting to the Sea of Japan.

Started in 717, with a history of 1300 years, Nata-dera Temple has some nationally designated important cultural properties. And this wonderful view around 'Kigan Yusenkyou (strangely shaped rocks and a gorge a wizard living) was read in Matsuo Basho's haiku 'ishiyama no, ishi yori shiroshi, aki no kaze.' (Whiter than rocks of a rock mountain, an autumn wind)

Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum is located in Katsuyama Dinosaur Park. I thought children would like it, but its contents are genuine and new. There has laboratories and a stack room, and the specialists use them. Now, I think this museum is good for both grown-ups and children.

Tojinbo is one of the popular spots in Fukui. 20 meters columnar joint facing to the Sea of Japan is the wonderful modeling of nature. You must feel weak at the knees when you stand on the edge.

In old time, a man Togoro washed yam here, then he found gold dusts. From such a story, 'a swamp (沢) to wash gold (金)' became 'Kanazawa (金沢). It doesn't run dry under a blazing sun in midsummer and overflow after a long rain. It's a mysterious spring always filled with clear water.

All mountain climbers long for, Kumono-daira Tableland is located in the depth of Japan North Alps. It's called as 'the last trackless region in Japan', I was so fascinated with the dynamic expanse of flower fields, lava stones, and snowed fields!◎You need to climb the mountain from Oritate or Shin-hodaka Gate, and it takes more than 1 day even for good walkers! Yukinodaira Tableland has a mountain hut and a campsite. The mountain hut has a little water, you should supply the drinking water at the campsite.

Toyama's spring specialty, firefly squids. You can sometimes see firefly squids thrown up on the shore. The sparkling blue lights on the night shore was very fantastic.
