Insider tip — Echizen Onsen 'Isaribi' (漁火 — 'fishing light') is a rotenburo perched above the Sea of Japan on the rugged Echizen coast; soak in the open-air bath while watching the lights of fishing boats at dusk. Fukui's Echizen-gani crab (available October–March) is Japan's most prized winter seafood — dinner and a soak here is a seasonal pilgrimage.
