Hey all! This last weekend, my aunt, uncle and I took a roadtrip down to Fukui. Fukui is well known for these high cliffs it has. The water is really deep, and its infamous for being the place to go, if you want to commit suicide. Not a very welcoming thought, but the place is very scenic, nonetheless.
It was a long drive, like 4 hours long, but we made it to the Japan sea on a nice warm day. Stopped off at a couple places, bought omiyage *souvenirs, had lunch at a place with fresh snow crab and got there in the mid-afternoon. You make your way down to the water through a walkway lined with various restaurants and stores selling omiyage. It opens up onto these high cliffs, which are littered with people walking all over them to get pictures.
My aunt and I took a boat ride and learned more about the history of the place. Here are the pics from there: ToJinBo
As the sun was setting and we made our way to the little island, the wind had started to pick up so we decided to take a break and stop at the nearby onsen for a bath to warm us up. This onsen is a little different from Utopia, because it's just a public bath, they don't have a movie or game center or anything, but the water is from a natural hot spring, so it's better for you.
After more driving, we stopped off at a restaurant for some dinner and then got home at 1:30 in the morning. All in all, awesome way to spend the day.
More pictures to come, since I'm going to Kyoto this weekend! Love you guys, miss you!
